Fiber deployments come in different shapes and sizes and are driven by a variety of motivating factors. Some are most concerned with the least upfront construction costs. Others are more concerned with the total cost of ownership.

Attempts to try and force-fit this single style solution for every type of fiber customer is a simply not wise.
