Qwest portion but requiring $10k in conduit from the designated building to the
road to $30k for the Qwest construction but the conduit was already there. Most
of them we've installed or quoted didn't have any Qwest charges though. The
majority of the cost is you getting a 4" PVC conduit from your computer/demarc
room out to the designated location in the right of way.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Just out of curiosity, what range of money are we talking about to
put in fiber to a given location? I suppose it all depends on distance and
"obstacles", but would that be $5,000? $10,000, $50,000? <BR><BR

<DIV class=h5>> Is that really feasible? When I lived in town there was
Qwest<BR>> fiber in the ground in the alley 3 ft from the edge of
my<BR>> house. That means it was barely 4ft from my computer...
Could<BR>> I get a fiber to my house? No.<BR>> In fact, Qwest thought
my even asking was amusing.<BR>><BR>> :) Dave<BR>><BR>> On Wed,
