RE: [EFM] NTT, Ethernet
Yes, but they only seem to deploy in the richest neighborhoods as I
recall. Perhaps they have expanded everywhere.

Hi Francois,
I don't call $50/month access charge (including CPE rental fee
and basic charge) service the service for richiest neighborhood.
($50/month or 6100yen/month is the public information. Please see
http://ca.usen.com/.)
Usen uses their own P2P fiber from their mini COs on the streets.
No splitter, no PON as far as I know.
