I understand that.... so instead of bread costing $2.00 per loaf, it
goes up to $2.10.
So because of that "fear", everyone wants to find a different place to
put money besides a bank? Seems strange to me.

Imports cost us way more money. That may not directly affect any

increase their prices to distributors who in turn have to raise the price to
individual consumers. It creates inflation.

I've never understood this thinking... who cares if the dollar is "worth
less" to the rest of the world? If it will still buy groceries, or pay my
power bill, why does it matter?

"put some money in the bank"
The question is: which currency?
With the dollar falling (or failing) what good is it going to do in the
bank?
I guess I'll just keep pouring it back into the company because its
gonna be worthless soon.
Any other ideas guys?

Patrick,
Not being one for gov money....
We have excellent credit. We have that because we only expand at a
rate the will allow funding (new business) to cover our costs. So the
cycle goes:
1. Build out X number of Towers.
2. Market X number of Areas.
3. Install Customers to X*Y until well funded.
Repeat.
I think a lot of the companies that take stimulus money are going to
go under in the long run. They will go like the dot-coms. Build
build Build.... Ah shit no revenue!
That being said, we are vertical, all workers work for the company.
That is the only way you can control quality. Good employees are very
hard to find. For every 100-200 applications/resumes, maybe 10 are
worth talking to seriously. You're lucky to find 1 that is worth
hiring.
Always a ray of sunshine!

Patrick,
#1- Labor: There is very little skilled resources here.
#2- Funding: Especially for labor. Normal financing channels are
available but I will not take on too much debt at one time.
#3- Time: There is little extra time to dedicate towards expansion
versus daily operations.
Notes-
Employees: Too small to enjoy such a "luxury".
Stimulus: I don't believe in it and did not apply.
Technologies: Proprietary equipment are a bit too expensive unless you
buy CPE in 100 packs. Even then, the AP's are still expensive.

Regardless of your tech choice -- Moto, 802.11-based, WiMAX or other, I
am interested to know what are the greatest barriers to growth and why?
Some possibilities:
Is it funding and if so, are your normal channels for money frozen or
otherwise gone?
Is it competition? If so, how specifically.
Are you constrained from hiring due to high cost of employee benefits
(e.g. health insurance)?
Are you stalled waiting for response from your stimulus application?
Are you stalled trying to defend against someone else's stimulus
application that would include your market?
Are the current technologies too expensive or technicall inadequate to
deliver what you need to compete?
