most of the expense of laying fibre is associated with ducting + wayleave.
Another important expense of FTTH is at the last yards of dropping cables fro the laed fiber, where SS needs simple closures and shorter dropping cables than PON.
These enclosures (including all electronics but SFP) are around $350. SFP is another $110 for 10km bidi optics w/ DOM. The cable cost to reach the home with connectors can run around $1-2/meter, excluding pole attach or burying costs. The cable cost quickly comes to rival the cost of the enclosure. - Jared
