Of these  10 million households,  how many want  VLANs?  How many  have even
heard of VLANs? 

How many  households contain  more than  one site, and  want those  sites to
appear to be on a common LAN? 

Surely for residential households, you want to treat each one as a single IP
subnet, and  connect them to  a router.  I  don't see where VPLS  even comes
into it.  Am I missing something?
