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. On 10

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
