T1s are composed of two "tail circuits", and an Inter-office (IX/IXC)
portion.
You're never going to eliminate the tail circuit from the CO out to the
location (Starbucks), unless the building where the Starbucks is
located is "on-net", of course. We'll call that unlikely for now.

Bet on it.
The cost of the *average* T1 at Wayport (including the channelized DS3s
where they terminated) was $230.

$10/day. As Glenn points out, they're a long way from making WiFi pa
