In Eurasia railway companies often run fibre because they already have rights to the tracks. More importantly, one stop from a central station is basically city centre with high population density.
- ng55QPSK 6y agoSo? We have fully developed fiber networks everywhere in EU, but the last 500m ... 200m to every building is expensive (this about tree structures).
- blfr 6y agoBut it's less expensive per subscriber (and therefore more profitable and more expected to be delivered) when you have higher pop density.
- ng55QPSK 6y agoIt only looks to you like less expensive. Opening a street inner city and put something in the ground gets more and more expensive (think factors) the higher the building density and 'other things in the ground' get. I recommend to start a business if YOU know how to keep the investment down.
- blfr 6y agoThis is really not some controversial discovery. Providers already know this and take full advantage. It's common for multi-tenants buildings to be wired by 2-3 ISPs and even nearby single family housing to have only one with serious installation costs on top. Barring regulatory failure, providers don't even need to "open a street" precisely because of the other installations that already exist where wires can be run alongside.
