If you could go 20km to a splitter and then hit 32 homes ~1km away (52km fiber pair length total), that was a win. If the homes are 2km from the CO, 32 pair (64km fiber pair length total) of home runs was cheaper than the savings on fiber, and then the cost of GPON splitters and equipment. I'm trying to figure out if my assessment is correct or not...Is there any specific reason why muni networks don't use 1-10 GBit fiber mesh, using L3 switches in DSLAMs on every street corner?
Well, one reason is that, IMHO, the goal here is to provide a flexible L1 platform that will allow multiple competing providers a low barrier to entry to provide a multitude of competitive services. Owen
