Well it is not the fact that they can't get more T1's or DS3, it is the fact that these lines are very expensive. A T1 for data might only support 5 users if they are using high bandwidth. A T1 costs the providers on average $350 a month, so it is not cost effective for busy cell sites. All the wireless companies are trying to push out microwave as much as possible since they can support OC3 speeds or faster without a monthly line cost. -- AWD Turbo Power |
