[Here is an excellent paper on the pros and cons of various FTTh
architectures.  I fully agree with authors that home run fiber with Ethernet
is the optimal solution. Not only does home run fiber provide unlimited
bandwidth and greater flexibility - it also enables innovative business
models such as customer owned fiber and layer 1 peer to peer interconnects
between subscribers. The only thing missing in this report is FTTh
architectures for initial low take up deployments (less than 10%). Virtually
all FTTh analysis assumes Greenfield deployments with close to 100% takeup.
I think there is some new innovative "slot" and micro-conduit technologies
that will substantially reduce costs for deploying FTTH in existing
neighbourhoods, even with initial low take-ups-- BSA]
