If I had this I'd probably just become the neighborhood ISP, sell 1 gig symmetrical to 49 houses for $100/mo and you're no longer paying for that connection after 9 customers

Permits, a mini JCB, buried fiber runs and stuff would be expensive though... as well as routers for each customer... ah maybe I'd pass on that business opportunity actually ๐Ÿ˜…

You could probably also run a pretty mean Wi-Fi connection. Like neighborhood mesh Network, $50 a month per person.

You could probably sell a 1gig service to 200 users on a 50gbps line. That's how GPON works and mostly people don't have issues.
