Determine the amortization component for a fiber rate based on 15 year life cycle for a fiber strand. Conduit distance from Comm Bldg to Music Center is 8000 ft. Construction cost for underground duct is $100/ft. A fiber cable with the same strand count (48) presently installed is about $2 per foot or about $25,000 installed with connectors and testing. The annual cost per strand is $1145. Most of the money is in the duct. You could reasonably hope for a life cycle period of physical facilities that is longer than 15 years. There are other components to a rate, for example, if you want someone to answer the phone when someone calls with a problem. This is just the amortization piece.
