[1st-mile-nm] NYC accelerates Internet Master Plan | Smart Cities Dive

[Trey Scarborough]

No not simple at all not in NY. Finding a company to service it may be 
next to impossible. I do a lot of work there and most companies have 
stopped expanding lately. NY is currently wanting to tax every strand 
mile of fiber in any public right of way to the point that at current 
market rates for service there is no way you can make a profit. This 
would make the economics of building this out undesirable unless you 
received an exemption from the taxes for completing it. The second will 
be construction because most of it has to be done at night for obvious 
network reasons along with traffic issues. In these areas most companies 
will not work at night for good reason. I have had splicers that had 
there ventilation system and safety equipment stolen during the middle 
of the day while they were in the trailer watching. Plus to the 
de-funding of the police to redirect this money to broadband you can 
almost guarantee the cost for the mandatory police/state police traffic 
control during construction just went up 300% or more. It can already be 
thousands of dollars a night. MM wave is a good idea but, but in reality 
that has limited capacity and it is difficult to get line of site to a 
building that has fiber and will let you place a dish on it.
