Be careful of what you wish for...., Yes, you get fiber from the CO to
the Building... however there is also a very big side-effect...
Verizon is not obligated to provide equal access to Competitive
providers (CLECs) on this Fiber....
Thus, you are also looking a significantly reduced competition.....
which is very likely to equate to a higher cost for end users.
