FTTH is great but GPON is bad. The only way to go is "Active Ethernet"/AON. Dedicated fibers instead of sharing them with GPON. That was the intention of my post. With AON you have dumb pipes and multiple carriers can offer their services to the connected customers. With GPON the carrier who owns the headend owns all customers. This means there is no open market and the publicly financed infrastructure will be exploited by the single incumbent carrier.
