Hi,

I've been looking at Telecom's UFB bid and was wanting to understand the cost for them to deploy the network a bit better. I'm particularly interested in the capital cost to deploy fibre to each premise.

I have seen numbers in general presentations quoting $3000 per premise, which breaks down to $2000 to pass the premise at the street and $1000 to connect the premise. I believe these numbers typically reflect a greenfield deployment scenario.

Given Telecom has already deployed a FTTN network, I wondered if any of the experts on this forum had any idea of what the cost would be to upgrade from FTTN ?

I would assume the cost to connect the premise would be the same, but how much would the cost to pass the premise come down ?

Any help appreciated

Cheers,

AJ
