3. no home run fibres means no competitors running their own GPON or Ethernet. Why invest in making it easier for the competition
Because I don't have any competitors; I *am the municipality*. All the possible competitors *are my customers*, at what amounts to a tarriffed rate, whether for L1, or (more expensively) L2, assuming my L2 limitations are acceptable to them. My goal is to do the trenching once, and never again. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
