You're still not getting it. And I'm not sure if it's on purpose or not.
But I've been pretty clear:
Home run from each prem to an MDF. City employes do all M-A-C patch cable
moves on the MDF, to horizontals into the colo, where the provider's gear
aggregates it from L1 to whatever.
No aerial plant at all, no multple provider runs to the prems.
That's most of the point here.
