What should I do to establish rights on my work? Does it depend on the country where it was created?


Question: business-class fiber to the home
Answer: If you didn't know the carrier and had no discount structure in place then I'd suggest that simply running shielded good high performance (OM3) bare fibre from their switches to your home would cost in the tens of thousands of dollars, perhaps as much as $50,000-$75,000. Then you'd have to pay for the SFP/SFP+ (or Xenpak/X2), which are at least $1,000 each end for medium range transceivers, plus a fraction of a switch line card, say $2,000.  You'd also need an SFP/SFP+ capable switch/router at your end, say $2,000-$5,000 or more.
Then we get into the heavy cost, the actual carrier and support costs, which would be well into five figure per year. There would also be engineering and project management costs too.

So to recap, I'd suggest between $25,000 and $150,000-$250,000 depending on carrier, location, service level and speed.
