[For any community that is looking to deploy a community fiber network, I
highly recommend taking a look at this study on the Burlington project.
Although the Burlington network bills itself as an "open access" network,
its network architecture, like that in Amsterdam is built around home run
fiber, terminating on GPON at the central office. GPON is used to reduce
interface costs only, so at a future date if a customer wanted layer one
connectivity to a given service provider and bypass the PON altogether then
it would only require a simple fiber patch. This provides for a future proof
architecture as new technologies and business model evolve. Thanks to Frank
Culuccio and Tim Nulty for this pointer -- BSA]
