Lamont, I am not very familiar with this topic or fiber routes in general. In reading this post, and in the spirit of Dan's post on creating a glossary of terms, I was wondering if you might be able to provide definitions for the following terms:
- Fiber Route
- Fiber Network
- Fiber Lit Buildings
- Near Net Fiber Buildings
- On Net Fiber Buildings
I think this would be helpful for people who are not familiar with this topic, and it would help us build our glossary. Thanks!

Subject: Where to put new Fiber?
You can use Fiber routes, Fiber Lit Buildings and Building boundaries to see where to put new fiber relative to existing fiber lit buildings and compared to other providers. In the image below the red pins are the near net fiber buildings that need access and are less costly to connect to the fiber network. There is no fiber on West 31st street. It may make sense to provide fiber or turn on the buildings are not lit:
