Re: Guess it's propaganda season again! said by InvalidError:For TSI who has 16 of those, they would need to find someone else willing to aggregate 400+ locations for under $28k/month or about $70/month per location. I make no pretense of being a network builder here, but I'm sure deals could be struck with various data centers to take care of their interconnection needs.
Again, once you have an initial investment, and you build out from there...
So create your first POP where you have the most clients, so you can make your money back the fastest, and keep prioritizing from there.
said by InvalidError:So, do you seriously think TSI and others could manage to interconnect COs themselves for cheaper than Bell's Fibe25? The point isn't to have a lower internal cost than Bell (at least not at the beginning) it's to create un-molested access and to derive greater revenue from each subscriber.
In the end if you don't have to pay Bell for each sub you have it's a double whammy for you, more money in your company's pocket, and less money in Bell's.

Even though you might end up paying $20 less to Bell, you might end up paying $30 more elsewhere and be out $10 more at the bottom line... then you need to make a compelling service offer with that $10 handicap vs pure-GAS ISPs, which would be a tough sell to people who just want cheap(er) internet that works. |

A well worked out business plan would probably sort of a lot of these issues out, but an easy selling point would be custom speed offerings gained from having your own POP.
Larger wholesale companies could probably turn these arrangements into a goldmine.

Only works for those customers that have copper pairs at less than 2km or so from your xDSL equipment. Bell's remotes even if they let you connect to it "upstream" at the CO do not cover all cities e.g. Ottawa
On the other hand, the cable internet POI seems to be a bit more attractive as speed is pretty much uniform. 1/5 or less POI to connect to and have better coverage than Bell's CO. Now if they can work out the implementation side of things abit more smoothly. |

You can charge more, give more, and make more in the end.
The more cash your ISP makes the more gear it can buy, and you spread out from there.
Now, I'm not a network engineer, and I'm not pretending to be able to manage an independant ISP but the fundamentals I just listed off are pretty sound.
