I know distance isn't as much of an issue with fiber, but Marlon talked about ethernet *OR* fiber so I guess I was thinking ethernet over standard copper and was wondering if I was missing something simple/cheap to get/around over the 100m limit.

Marlon, how would you have done the ethernet? I thought you were restricted to basically 300 feet of ethernet without a switch/router/booster every 300 feet or so, or am I missing something? I have pole rights in town a $1/pole/yr so I'm trying to find an affordable use of them.

We use dry copper, wireless, fiber and dsl for backhaul. I've not built my own fiber yet. I'm sure the day is coming though.

I really screwed up a few years ago. The town had the sidewalks all out down town. I should have found the money and put some conduit in at that time. I could have ethernet or fiber connections to all of the down town businesses today! sigh

I am looking to talk with someone that has laid some fiber to complement
their wireless operations.  We have a couple of leads we are looking at
making some short hop backbones between towers, and having the cities get involved as a customer of fiber, and hopefully it will pay for the venture.

On or off list replys welcome.

Thanks

Mike
