If you have no experience with outside plant and your investors have less
than $10 million dollars, then forget this idea. Stick to inside plant
better known as LAN's and ISP networks.

Outside plant is a whole different animal. Greater distances,
weatherproofing, strain relief from the weight of the cable plus wet snow
and birds perching on it, noise ingress, etc.....
