Re: hmm

Based on the information provided, it's hard to tell what time period the payment is for, or how much the monthly bill is per chapter house. We can make a rough guess..

2.1 million is being withheld, if we assume that is the overpayment for 12 months service to 70 chapter houses, that works out to $2500 per month per chapter house.

Not knowing the level of service provided, I have no idea if that amount is high or low compared to other satellite providers. Given the lack of wired infrastructure, they have a choice between building their own distribution network, or using satellite.

Not knowing the geography of the area, I have no idea how much it would cost to provide wireless or microwave distribution to those chapter houses, and microwave backhaul to a ISP or peering point.
