although fibre cost more to deploy, it was likely to have a higher uptake – and cost was not prohibitive, the study found,
It depends on how we view the cost. At one of the links in an earlier post, the cost over time (remembering that optical fibre lasts a long, long time) was estimated at less than $1 per week for each premises. Big numbers tend to have Conservatives fouling their nappies, but the numbers really aren’t all that scary. Then, there’s the value (why is it that Conservatives seem to fear the cost of everything and not know the value of anything?). Of course, cabling the nation will still take a while, so we’ll need satellite and fixed wireless as stopgaps.
