Interesting point. I know of a place where the customer bought a 100'
tower for $12k to get internet. He also had someone bury conduit from
the tower to the house. I don't know what he paid for that part, but it
wasn't free. I haven't run into anyone willing to pay 6 figures though.

Sounds like a good business opportunity for some construction worker
types who can learn how to do turnkey Rohn 25G installations for
customer sites... Maybe financing of a tower build? If you take
$8000 and divide it by 96 months with a reasonable interest rate it's
not so terrible. Particularly considering how much some people (not
the $24.95/mo type customer) will pay for services in rural locations.
Not too rare to find someone paying $95/mo for consumer grade VSAT
service and then another $70 on top of that for satellite TV.

We've been doing some pretty creative and some pretty expensive
installations with Clear's service shutting down. We have had a
few people willing to spend 5k to get installations done. One has
built a tower. Another one is $900 to create a very unique PTP
from a new microsite. It's amazing what SOME people will do to
get internet but I know that is not the norm - most just expect
50M for 19.95 and free install...

Yes, Steve's comments were excellent.
To summarize the whole thing, a couple of us can almost get to
him, but not quite - and nobody wants to. It turned out he
actually had called us earlier this year.

all the right steps before he bought/built. Then
finds out he's screwed.
