I-WIRE Economics
• Up front cost of ~$4M for fiber
• 20-year IRU Fiber (existing fiber)
• $700 to $5,000/strand-mile
• New construction (for ‘last mile’)
• $30 to $100/foot ($160-530k/mile)
• Up front cost of ~$2.5M for equipment
• Annual costs
• ~$100k for fiber maintenance, small number collocation spaces
• ~$250k for equipment maintenance, staff effort
