I should have included the details in my original note:
The cost per premise includes the ONT - they're using Calix Gigacenter - plus
all the materials and labor to run the drop from the pole to the home, plus all
the interior work, plus any time spent making sure the customer is on the air.
NB: The $40K/mile includes the cost of system design, obtaining licenses to use
the utility poles, other regulatory hoo-hah, make-ready - surveying the exact
location of all the poles, inspecting them for suitability (not rotten, tall
enough to carry another service, etc), replacing any sub-standard poles, then
the cost of actually hanging the steel strand and the fiber on the poles.
And no, the CPE doesn't include any AQM that I'm aware of. Latency isn't
dreadful, but many people still use their IQrouters (installed because we could
only get 7/1 mbps DSL prior to the arrival of the fiber connectivity.)
