  8. I-WIRE Economics • Up front cost of ~$4M for fiber • 20-year IRU Fiber (existing fiber) • $700 to $5,000/strand-mile • New construction (for ‘last mile’) • $30 to $100/foot ($160-530k/mile) • Up front cost of ~$2.5M for equipment • Annual costs • ~$100k for fiber maintenance, small number collocation spaces • ~$250k for equipment maintenance, staff effort
