There are still some areas of this country that bandwidth is expensive
even in high quantities. I currently have three OC3 connections and my
cheapest provider is still over $30/Mbps because of the transport. I am
200 miles from any significant bandwidth (other than Qwest, which is
still in that price range). Travis Microserv Chuck McCown - 3 wrote: I am certain you can do much better than that.

You should be able to get something in the $30~50/Mb range, maybe better if you can shoot off of a carrier hotel roof or something. -Hal -----Original Message----- From: RickG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Bandwidth and costs... Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:57:55 -0500 I've got the same issues here. I'm getting rid of my expensive T1's and bringing in bandwidth from 30 miles away. If the usages keeps growing, I'll employ one of the options you mention below. -RickG On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 9:50 PM, Blair Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:With the things that are coming, I'm starting to wounder just how the bandwidth/pricing model is going to have to change. This is likely not a big deal for you urban guys, but out here in the rural areas, bandwidth ain't cheap. A T1, 1.54Mb/s, costs me $700/month. On my fiber, 1Mb/s costs me $200/month. These movie services look to run 2Mb/s. IPTV looks to run 500Kb/s per stream. Just how much of this can our rural networks handle? The sat. services can't do this. The cellular providers can't do this. Most of us have our residential service priced in the $35-$45 range. It doesn't take a accountant to see that those numbers don't add up. Is per bit pricing the answer? Higher fixed monthly? Traffic discrimination? A combination? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
