The huts or cabins whatever you want to call them, are right behind the admin building at entrance, so first is about 300 meters and the furtherest is just under 1 mile
Cost will be an issue, Im sure I will have no problems if I have to install a full rack of gateways and another full of dslams if it costs 150K, over something 1/5th the size in one rack that will cost 200k - since the company is not charging them for internet or voice.
