The other reflector set up for discussing PON vs P2P costs doesn't seem to be working, so I'm sending this to this forum for dissemination and discussion.

> I wanted to share some relative Outside Plant (OSP) costs based on calculations from analysts here at HQ and my colleagues at Corning Cable Systems. Based on fixed electronics cost at the Head End (HE) and in the customer premises (CPE), the relative cost of the OSP is about 41% of the total cost for 1 fiber to the home and 52% of total cost for 2 fibers for a Point to Point network. For a PON, the relative cost of the OSP is about 13-18% of the total cost. In other words, OSP costs for a P2P network are roughly 2X the cost for a PON. OSP costs include the feeder and distribution cables, splices and connectors, trenching and/or drops, and splice enclosures. Of course, as the cost of the electronics at the HE and at the CPE drop, the relative cost of the OSP will go up. What I don't know and would like to see some discussion on, is the difference in the cost of the electronics in the HE for a P2P vs. PON. I expect that since the management functions of a PON are more complex, the costs of the electr
