We run a strand to each dwelling once we get into a cluster of homes.
Cabinet mounted splitters.
Then later we can do active to each home if we want to add electronics at
the cabinet locations.

Yes, I agree.
The big reason for looking at GPON in my case is saving fibers out to the
country and not needing remote hardware in the middle. If I can use 2
strands to feed a subdivision that is 2 miles away, instead of using
24/48/or 96 strands, I can more than double/triple the fiber footprint
for the same cost and not have costly switches/optics in remote
enclosures. If I was only running to MDUs active would be great. The
whole reason I started looking at GPON was that guys here on the lists
have said the GPON hardware is no more costly than the active equipment.
If that's true GPON would save a ton on the fiber plant side of things.
That's fully retarded... The great thing about doing active-ethernet vs.
any form of GPON or EPON is the much larger set of available equipment.
Not
everything you can use for active-E as necessarily designed or marketed
for
residential services, and that's a good thing.
GPON and EPON equipment vendors still seem like they only want to sell to
huge carriers that will commit themselves to getting married to a platform
for ten years, and buy a ton of it, not caring that it's proprietary.
Yeah....
Stuff like 48-port 1000BaseT blades for routers you can install in MDUs
and
24/48-port SFP switches are used in all kinds of places.

They have to "Customize" a complete solution for you.
Typical big boy sales crap with an immediate NDA before they will talk
with you.
It completely turned me off on using Alphion.
