The Fiber ROI Stack: A Practical Playbook for BEAD-Scale Builds
Fiber ROI rarely breaks because the network design is “wrong.” It breaks because execution creates friction that the plan did not anticipate.
At scale, ROI leakage shows up in familiar ways: permit cycles stretch, design packages bounce between partners, reuse assumptions fail in the field, and as-built updates lag behind build progress. Each issue looks small in isolation, but together they delay serviceability and inflate cost.
