"The fiber network will support extensions with access points at 1500 foot intervals. Huts and splice points will be placed in or near existing telephone Central Offices (CO)." Across the nation I've been hearing of locations with high speed fiber running through but useless because the nearest access point is tens of miles away. I don't know how much more it costs to have many local access points, but if it's not prohibitive this is a very good idea. NNHM should also be commended for being explicit about how much fiber they will run (450 miles) and provided a realistic estimate of the jobs directly created. Scott Valcourt. a project leader, has a decade of experience with DSL at the UNH Interoperability Lab and is respected on the industry. http://www.ntia.doc.gov/broadbandgrants/applications/summaries/4248.pdf
I'd welcome more examples of best practices to emulate either from pending or approved projects.
