The few depoyments to individual homes were said to be telco "Fiber to the Street," where homeowners would have a block party where they would together install fiber from the street to their individual homes. Presumably, they would then call the telco to complete the installation within the home. Don't think that business model would play well in the U.S. with independent telcos? What do you think?

Of course, Verizon's commitment to the market is driving the large volume. As they transitioned from BPON to GPON, they continued their RF overlay approach for linear video delivery. Interestingly, the GPON standard does not appear to specify wavelengths for RF video. As they roll the product to high rises in New York and other urban locations, it will be imperative to find ways to send video over twised pairs. It will simply be too expensive to rewire buildings for either fiber or coax. This is consistent with earlier comments made by Verizon and, perhaps, 2009 will be the year of some form of IPTV in the Verizon network. http://www.viodi.com/newsletter/070200/index.htm#natpe This article does a good job of showing the progress of independent telcos in deploying FTTP.
