Electrical consumption of the equipment is different and then the environmental conditioning that larger electronic 
load. 

Let's not forget that actual consumer bit consumption changes very little whether they have 20 megs or 2 gigs 
provisioned and available.

Speaking of which, the Grant County Public Utility District (Washington 
State), has wired active ethernet all over their rural county. 

Seems to me that the cost difference between splitters & switches is a 
pretty minor component of deploying FTTH - the costs are in the 
trenching, and the fiber. What you put on the poles, or in the lawn 
furniture, is a pretty minor cost component. Though... getting power to 
the switches might be an issue, less so if you're deploying on power poles.
