Sure.

My install will be greenfield, down to new conduit, so I may have different
contstraints than other planners.

I will, in fact, be over-sizing the conduit as well, and I'll offer space
leasing to potential providers who want to go that far as well.  But, since
conduit space will be a much more limited quantity, it will cost quite
a bit more to do it that way, even before you blow the fiber, than to
lease my L1 or L2 services to the subs.
