That's nuts. No wonder there isn't enough cash. HA! I don't think I'm charging enough of an install fee after reading that.
Hmmmmmm........ "That'll be a $1000.00 install fee please." Gotta be a whole lotta padding in those numbers. -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Scottie Arnett Sent: Friday, December 11, 2009 8:49 PM To: wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Report: Broadband stimulus funds won't suffice I found these stats interesting: "the number of households either lacking Internet service altogether or using dial-up connections approaches 58 million - half of the households in the United States." Somebody is wrong somewhere on these numbers? and... "Insight Research claims that it takes about $1,500 per household to deploy broadband, bringing the amount of money needed for universal access to $60 billion." I know I could do mucho mucho wireless with $1500 per customer!
