*sigh*
I'd gladly pay $5000 NRC to get fiber to my house. I only wish it
were that simple. :( Heck, if they wanted longer-term ROI, I'd pay
$5000 NRC and $200 MRC for a fiber connection to my house, if
only there were someone who could provide it. I suspect the real
costs are much higher, and that's why there's nobody willing to do
it for that cheap.
