Nishi and John Windhausen -- Coordinator of the Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband Coalition -- met with members of the Federal Communications Commission's National Broadband Plan team to discuss cost estimates for providing fiber optic connectivity to anchor institutions. Installing fiber to all community anchor institutions may cost $5-$10 billion with installation costs per site ranging from $10k-$200k depending on deployment technique and investment shared with other buildings.
