Subject: cost of installing fiber
These are some numbers I have from TCG. These are higher than the $10K/mile we have discussed earlier:
Installing fiber on existing poles (aerial): $15-20K/mile
Installing fiber in existing conduits: $30-40K/mile
(this is probably high, i.e. unionized, a lot of work at night,
..)
Cost of installing new conduit: $25/foot (> $100K/mile!)
(this is assuming good conditions)
