I think Calix has come down over time.

Are you scared of vendor lock-in with PON? That’s what scares me. Calix
jacking up their rates without any recourse but swapping equipment on both
sides.

Chuck,
Can you tell us what vendors are working for you?
I know you have said you have tried a few.

But Why? I understand Long haul PON for FTTH, to conserve miles and
miles of trunk fiber, but why in a building? Instead of having a single device
(a switch) you now have active hardware all over the building to manage and
maintain (And power).

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)
