FCC ponders FTTN versus FTTH for Connect America Fund
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this past Friday, June 8, issued a public notice that its Wireline Competition Bureau is seeking public comments on the cost model it will use to help guide its deployment of Connect America Fund (CAF) Phase II money. Among the items up for consideration is whether the cost model should assume a fiber to the home (FTTH) or a DSL/fiber to the node (FTTN) infrastructure.
