Re: Short on information

I was wondering that myself. Surely it can't cost $800 simply to "turn on" the service at an already-connected location? If that's the case, they've got a lot more problems than simple subscriber churn.

I can't believe that Utah is seeing such explosive housing growth that people will build houses, have FTTH connected and then move out before the muni project sees a return on the layout investment.

Actually, it can. The sat providers figure it costs them around $600 every time they sign up a customer. One reason that's so high is advertising and marketing costs. The other is that maintaining a fleet of trucks and installers isn't cheap, even if all they do is drop of a modem.
