I was discussing the cost that the service provider had to pay in the
context of a "$4/mo copper pair" for rental of a copper pair that the
ILEC almost certainly did not need to install. I do not see why the
cost for build out needs to be included in the actual monthly cost an
ILEC needs to charge.
I think that utilities have a long history of proving that the cost
for build out can be successfully charged to the property owner in
several ways as you note. I don't see it as being an insurmountable
problem to find some way for an intermediate service provider to
deal with this if needed.

With 24 million small businesses in the US alone, that's way too many apples.
