ya know.. system cost for optical fiber is probably cheaper than 
hardline - the cable certainly is (about $15 for a 100 ft duplex single 
mode). And the analog/optical converters at either end are probably 
cheaper than hardline coax connectors. And *way* easier to install.

We just need to figure out which COTS media converter is right for 
"time-nuts" usage.
