I assumed this was true, that bonds with the revenue stream based upon 
rights-of-way lease only, or row+dark-fiber, or ... were each 
incrementally easier to sell, having incrementally larger per-customer 
revenue shares.

If anyone has specific bonds, or bonding experiences they can point to 
I'd appreciate the pointers.
