- 大多数光纤建设者预计，在网络部署活动强劲的背景下，今年价格压力将进一步加大。
- 成本上升使现有电信公司和农村宽带计划的预算变得复杂，可能影响部署策略和资金优先次序。
发生了什么
由光纤宽带协会（FBA）及其研究合作伙伴Cartesian联合发布的最新年度光纤部署成本报告显示，2025年美国光纤网络建设成本持续上升，大多数运营商预计这一趋势将持续到2026年。
报告的关键指标显示，到2025年，地下光纤部署的中位成本将达到每英尺约18美元，架空光纤建设的中位成本将达到每英尺约8美元，分别同比增长约3%和14%。这些数据凸显了电信公司在光纤部署仍是头等大事的背景下面临的压力。 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
劳动力成本仍是主要支出，占地下光纤部署成本的70%以上，占架空光纤建设成本的64%左右。许多受访者预计劳动力和材料价格将进一步上涨。受访者还指出，审批延迟和“准备工作”（例如为架空光纤部署准备电线杆）是导致成本和进度挑战日益严重的因素。 另见: Ofcom 揭露英国铁路移动覆盖差距.
尽管存在这些逆风，光纤网络覆盖范围仍在快速扩大：报告指出，目前超过60%的美国家庭可以使用光纤，仅2025年就新增了近1180万家庭覆盖。 另见: 罗伯特·纽沃斯.

为什么重要
预计2026年成本上升之际，主要运营商和小型供应商都在投资数十亿美元用于光纤网络建设，以实现雄心勃勃的部署目标和政策目标。在私人投资和联邦宽带计划（如宽带公平、接入和部署（BEAD）计划）的资金支持下，供应商面临快速高效部署的压力——但建设成本上升可能改变预算和执行策略。 另见: 欧盟重写人工智能基础设施主权规则.
对于通过收购和自建积极扩张的大型电信公司如AT&T和Verizon来说，随着网络在全国范围内扩展，成本的逐步增加至关重要。专注于农村地区的小型运营商也面临类似压力，因为他们的每户成本可能更高，资金限制可能更严重。 另见: 欧盟限制美国卫星运营商接入频谱.
FBA和Cartesian等机构提供的准确成本基准，正成为运营商、政策制定者和承包商在复杂部署环境中规划的重要工具。在这种环境下，材料价格、劳动力供应和监管流程都直接影响宽带基础设施的经济效益。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
