And where does that fiber go to? Home runs from a central point in the
development, so any provider can hook up to any house at the street?
Deregulation means those lines should be accessible to any company for a
fee. How do you give House A Verizon and House B Cox, especially if Cox
doesn't support fiber?
Granted, I don't do residential broadband deployments, maybe all of those
issues are trivial, but something that needs to be considered. Just
because there is only one player in a certain market now doesn't mean we
shouldn't plan now for 10 players 10 years from now in the same market.
