The template breaks down all five forces with fiber-optic specific drivers: supplier concentration (splicers, cables), buyer bargaining (large ISPs), entrant barriers (certification, fleet costs), substitution threats (fixed wireless), and competitive intensity (regional contractors). Each force includes evidence points, impact score, and practical countermeasures.
