*FTTP* is the only economic solution, even if it did cost triple what it was projected
Why? FTTN is thought to be cheaper. You have to bend definitions quite a bit to end up with a system where price is not a part of economics. Personal note: I'm okay with copper gigabit to endpoint at work, same at home.
The initial cost is only part of the economic equation. There is a far greater cost in NOT going ahead with the FTTP solution. For starters, how soon before the /slight/ initial savings of FTTN are swallowed up, just due to the cost of operating the network (electrically) ? There are many more economic arguments, just one other would be lost productivity using the slower network. Cheers A.
