Chuck, I'm currently working a proposal for FTTH for a 654 unit developement. I would like to know where you are getting these numbers on the equipment. I had one company give me a price of $3,500.00 per unit, and another for $2,800.00 per unit. Please let us know where we can find a reasonable company on equipment prices. I've searched for weeks, put I cannot pin anyone company down on line item prices. If this developement works, then I will have 3 more to do at about 2,000 units per developement.
