They might pay, if they got to chose their provider freely like they can in Sweden, where they build open access networks where any ISP can provide service.

- mjevans 10y agoI bet you could build it in to the sale price of reselling a home. IE this improvement must be made to make it distinct in the market.
- rdl 10y agoI would happily pay 100-200k if I could capitalize it on a 30y 0-3% mortgage to bring fiber from a carrier neutral facility (say, the Westin Building in Seattle) to a farm. It's about $10k/km for aerial fiber and $50k/km for buried fiber in most places (far higher in a city, but the distances are shorter.) There's probably a reasonable market doing this at $10-20k/house. There's clearly a market for multi-family dwellings like condos/apartment buildings (webpass, condointernet, etc. have shown), but maybe the next step will be neighborhoods pre-wired with fiber to some kind of switchbox with your choice of carrier coming in.
