This is likely the biggest reason they went under. "It's similar to the DSL providers. If you have your own considerable capital expenditures (the cost of deploying the wireless transceiver on the roof) and you have to lease back-up lines from the incumbent, where is the profit margin?" thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] questions, help?

A figure I saw was - $25k for infrastructure to serve 3000 customers, $50 per month flat rate. The money would definitely flow. The opportunity here is that the cable companies are too busy upgrading existing nets to bother with small-timing like this. The opportunity won't last long, but the window is open NOW. You could get the business going with as little as $50k in cash - $100k would be better. I'm so certain this would work I'd quit my existing job to help develop it. -drl

THERE'S a market waiting to be tapped (meaning marinas - KW is covered)... And you'd get a neat locale to work in, too!
