Too bad this analysis has nothing to do with delivering internet access to the home since the ISP typically just leases a few miles (or 10&#x27;s of miles) of fiber to the local internet exchange point, rarely do they lay an 8700 mile undersea cable... and even if they do, they still need to build all of the infrastructure to get the network to your house.<p>I&#x27;d be much more interested in seeing what it really costs to build an operate an ISP with broadband service to the home (whether it&#x27;s fiber or copper)
