[AFMUG] Indoor GPON - Why?

[Nate Burke]

We just had a new public library built here in town.  The entire LAN 
infrastructure is built on PON using the Tellabs ONT's. 
http://www01.tellabs.com/products/tellabs1100ont.shtml  I've briefly 
looked around their site, and read some case studies, but Why would you 
choose PON infrastructure in a single building?  From what I can tell, 
you still have to run CAT 5 to the ONT for power, and the 4 port units 
(which I saw several around the library) have a wall-wort and a power 
switch.  I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the concept, other 
than someone make a slick presentation, and someone else got a nice 
payoff.  I wouldn't be surprised of the Latter, every single 120v outlet 
in the building is a 20A duplex receptacle with USB Ports (~$30 each)
