Asunto: municipal broadband
I
am doing research on the feasibility of municipal broadband and am trying to
determine approximate costs and would very much appreciate your assistance. I
understand costs would depend on many factors and am trying to determine very
roughly, what minimum costs would be for
fiber and wireless broadband infrastructure per capita, or for a city of
100,000 of average area. Chattanooga has a fiber municipal broadband system
that cost $414.5 million and has 55,000 subscribers (I am uncertain what the
average number of users per subscription is) for a cost per subscriber of
$7,536. Does this seem like a reasonable cost average per subscriber to you? I
understand that new wireless technologies exist that would allow cities to
offer similar speeds as fiber for much lower costs. Would you please tell me if
this is correct? Thank you very much.
