I want to thank David Russell for sending me this terrific presentation on FTTH. It outlines the national perspective and includes costs for deploying FTTH. The costs were put together for the FCC staff using real life numbers from Minnesota and Wisconsin, with the assistance of Finley Engineering, Hiawatha and Jaguar.

The numbers are dramatically different than the costs estimated in the Minnesota Ultra High-Speed Broadband Task Force Report (pg 73). I have no firsthand knowledge of actual costs but thought that this might be interesting for readers for the financial information but also the technical detail.
