Re: Put Up or Shut Up said by Titus Pullo:said by neofast:How about you stop the moronic comments and think, instead? ((snipped)) But then again, isn't that the dream of socialists everywhere? Everyone dependent upon handouts and nobody making a profit? My, my. How did I know the socialist tag would come flying? BTW, I'm not a socialist; neither am I a dupe for cronyism. And I don't think you need to worry about what I *think* with guys on your side telling us that "mom and pop" companies are a thing of the past. I also don't *think* your 2 man business has anything to worry about from a municipal BB coming around to put you out of business. If I were you, I'd *think* a lot more about a commercial enterprise (larger than 2 man, I assure you) burying you without a second thought and laughing like Enron and 'Aunt Millie' while they do it. If a Muni-bb DID threaten your livelihood, I *think* you'd at least get a word in edgewise and sympathy from your small-business brethren; good luck crying for salvation when a commercial outfit gobbles up your revenue customer by customer. PS: I trust they'll use stronger words than "moron" while they're staking you out for slaughter. *Think* about that. Well, first off, I'd agree that YOU DON'T THINK, but beyond that, you haven't said much that's intelligent.
First, we're a new wireless operation, with a statistically extrapolated 5000 possible customers... and over 1000 square miles of area coverage. Statistically, given today's "take" rates of around 10%, we expect our short term customer base to be around 500 broadband customers, and long term around 800. And my business model is NOT built on there being no competition. I have DSL, Cable, and 2 other wireless providers - both well funded, and I'm the small guy. The "David" against the "Goliaths", and I have no doubt we'll win... PRECISELY because we're small.
Our prices beat DSL, Cable, and the wireless providers, and our service beats them all, as well.
But that's because they lease thousands of square feet of the most expensive office space around, we use a home office. They hire ALL productive work done, and all the management does is collect paychecks. We do it all.
You see, grasshopper, size is not everything... efficiency is. Sizing your operation to the market is wisdom... You're spouting tripe. In your world, it's not real until it has massive overhead and fails in spectacularly large bankruptices that make the regional or national news.
We'll just keep smiling and loving life... because there's simply no way they can keep up with us... | |

| Good reply, but your beef isn't with me, it's with people that would put you of business. I think what you're doing is great and I wish you nothing but success. I'm more concerned with profit seeking mega-providers fighting solutions before they're in a position to (other than with lawyers from afar).
We don't disagree on the basics -- you simply misread my argument.
Best of luck to you.
