We investigate the economics of rural broadband access technologies based on actual geographic information. For low bit-rates and low population density, wireless is the cheapest. For bit-rates exceeding 20 Mbit/s, PON is the lowest-cost technology.
We model and compare the deployment costs of three broadband access technologies, namely digital subscriber loops (DSL), passive optical networks (PON), and WiMAX wireless access, in Australian rural and remote areas. The analysis shows that wireless technologies are cheapest for a 20 Mbit/s rate when the number of homes per square kilometer is less than one. For 50+ Mbit/s, passive optical networks...
