- FTTP/FTTH/FTTB/FTTD: Fiber to the premise, home, business or desktop are the most direct fiber lines. With them, you are getting pure fiber straight to your residence, with no copper cables involved. These are also the most expensive fiber connections for the ISPs.
- FTTB: With fiber to the building, the fiber line is distributed throughout the building by copper lines. This is a popular choice for apartment buildings, hotels, schools or buildings that provide Internet to several different businesses.
- FTTC/FTTN/FTTS: Fiber to the cabinet/curb, neighborhood, or street are the most common fiber connections. Fiber is delivered to a street cabinet, around 1000ft from the farthest premise, and is then dispersed by copper cables. It is the most affordable fiber optic Internet connection for ISPs because they do not have to invest in costly infrastructure to the individual premises, and it can be re-distributed if/when new residence or businesses move in

How To Build

- Aerial building: Fiber to the pole is complicated. It is a six to eight-month process, and with so many variables, there is no way to know the real long-term cost.Using an ISP with existing copper infrastructure on poles is going to have the easiest time putting up new aerial fiber, but they are still looking at the costly price of personnel, installation, and upkeep.
- Underground: This a broad term, since there are several different ways to bury fiber, it can be… Buried in a new or existing conduit. Plowed in using special machinery. Put in using directional boring. Buried directly in a trench/micro-trench. Blown into already buried ducts. Buried underwater.

How does a provider decide where to build? It’s all about return on investment (how quickly can the company get its cash investment back in order to reinvest in additional projects), and ability to grow the company.
Let’s look at a simple example making the following assumptions:
- $55,000 per mile for fiber infrastructure cost
- $600 per home to deliver service from the street
- 80 homes per mile
- Average monthly cost for the provider to actually deliver the service after installation is $32 per month
- The subscriber pays $65 per month for the service
- Net revenue per home is $33 per home
Improved Healthcare
Access to Health Care: Telemedicine has made advances that allow for the digital transfer of information that once required traditional telephone technology. Today, high-speed fiber connections allow health care professionals to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients in remote locations using telecommunications technology. Fiber optic Internet provides seamless video connections, so patients in remote locations can access medical experts quickly and efficiently without having to travel.
K-12 EDUCATION
Aside from the obvious access to information for studying, children and their parents can always be engaged in the educational process through educational web portals. These portals provide an interface to communicate with teachers and administrators, real-time access to assignments and grades, and numerous educational resources.
Community and Economic Development
When internet is treated as a public utility like gas, water or electricity, it can help residents find jobs, do homework at home more easily and connect easier to new technology like tele-health.
