[Jeff]

I am curious Steve, do you really think Incumbents will actually use the money to build sustainable solutions?

Not the right question in most cases. The issue is how much extra a carrier needs to break even on service. So if she breaks even at cost per customer of $3000 and the cost for customer X is $5,000 then the extra $2k does the trick.

The locations included in these awards are the most remote places in the US. I’m not even sure that $2,000 buy an upgrade to DSL. The issue for remote places is building fiber within a reasonable distance from a customer in order to shorten the loops.

I’d be very interested to hear folks’ opinion on what an average of $2K/home buys you…
