The way to compete with $15 DSL is "NOT TO". The day we have to, we might as well pack it up, and hope that we reserved a little bit of time over the previous few years to plan for our second career, after wireless.
I'm a firm believer that we are better off trying to increase capacity, than lower price. I am also a firm believer that used equipment has jsut as high a value as new equipment if you own it, and its paid for, and it still works. If equipment can only yield a $15 monthly revenue price, de-isntall it and move it to an area that will yeild a higher monthly price. Although admittedly, with Ubiquiti type/class CPE pricing, its hard to justify de-installing anything, when a new CPE is less expensive than the labor to move old stuff. But if using Non-penetrating mounts, Steel is still expensive, more so than labor.
