You can't oversubscribe it by very much. Most people watch TV from 6:00
to 10:00PM. What happens when they want to watch TV and it just doesn't
work? What will you do then? It's not that it will just be "slow" or
"sluggish" as normal internet services can be when oversubscribed, it
just will not work. So then what?

That includes transport.
And stastically, you can oversub it, even with streaming content.
You are never going to have all 20 streaming movies all at the same time.
I am willing to take the chance. That is how we are building out our
network.

I think the canopy 450 will do something like 30 down and 10 up.
So that could give you 20 simultaneously which statistically could
work if you had 50-100 on an AP.
Ok, so you have 20 people on one AP pulling 2Meg each which is 40
meg stream. If you have just 3 towers like that, you will have
120Meg streaming. At $50/sub, you have 60*50 = $3k/month in
revenue for those that are using that 120Meg. You'd NEVER get
120Meg delivered to rural America (at least not in MY area) for that
kind of money. A DS3 here with 45Meg would be around $4500/month
after you include the transport.
What am I missing? Canopy isn't the answer...the question isn't
JUST the last mile, but the business model overall. The problem CAN
be solved at the last mile, but when people are demanding streaming
services they will have to understand that $50 commodity service
isn't the answer. I'd be happy to deliver ANYONE with a dedicated
service level of 2,3 even 10M, but it won't be $50/month.
