I wouldn't trust the FCC with cleaning their own ass, you can't expect people who do not know a thing about broadband or the internet in general to make decisions that are based on those subjects.

Different terrain calls for different equipment, it could be a mix of wireless or wired then what type of network topology, and so forth but again that's up to the entrepreneur or better said network engineer to decide.

You can't just slap some wireless tower in a corn field with WiMAX and expect it to work properly. There is a reason why tower placement is important, for more info just ask someone who works in the field, because I am sure they will know a lot more than I ever would including regulations, safety procedures, and much more.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20554930 Wed, 28 May 2008 22:20:41 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20543152
Start up a business and let us know how it goes, as you do your research you would clearly see how expensive things become in just paper work alone. I will actually encourage you to pursue that venture of yours. After all since this is a matter that disturbs you so much I am sure you are willing to do something that will actually work.

Of course if you do not plan on doing anything, then you don't really have a solution and are just part of the problem. I am sure it will feel nice though that "COMPANIES" are coming to "YOU" because "YOU" provide a service that operates their ATMs and WiFi systems at malls because they are all relying on a investment that you decided to make happen and now things that the common city dweller enjoys is in some small town in Montana.

Companies will be coming to you or even the city will come to you requesting the cost of city wide WiFi access and if they give you a certain amount of cash can you do it. It's not Verizon or some big telco this time, it's patcat88's little mom and pop shop. So many things that you saw wrong with city WiFi, well guess what now you can change that.

It's easy to bitch and complain, doing something about it is entirely different. This is why I pretty much am done complaining about services I buy because I in the end decided to pay for them, nobody forced me into anything and broadband or internet access for that matter is not a necessity as long as I have a means of communication I am pretty squared away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20543152 Mon, 26 May 2008 20:38:40 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20542574 quote:

If that were true, that would be nice. But in 2012 there will still be millions of Americans stuck with dial-up. Either that or unaffordable, ultra-high latency, monthly-cap'd satellite pseudo-broadband..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20542574 Mon, 26 May 2008 18:25:50 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20542527 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20542527 Mon, 26 May 2008 18:14:55 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20542212 said by HEDP:

I say no regulation and allow a young entrepreneur to take advantage of such a market with different forms of technology available to make it possible. As that area grows the cost for dropping a line of fibre or copper down to those customers becomes justifiable.

No one not even you will put 40g's (cost much higher) and suck up the cost when you are only getting a few dollars in return.
Make it not be 40K. Do the vertical integration of Ma Bell. Use open source hardware and free standards that don't require 20K a year membership fees to get access to plus per unit royalties. Oh, BTW WiMAX fanboys, is your standard really open, or it is multi $1000 membership fees and per unit royalties and patent encumbered?

while people out in the boonies will likely see no HSI unless it's by the mom and pop ISP's that charge an arm and a leg for 1.5/256 (if you're lucky)
$60/month here for 1.5/512 from a local WISP, which is my only option. No cable and no CenturyTel DSL available. I'm happy though considering it is $10/month cheaper than HughesNet w/much faster uploads and pings are around 60ms.

So what's the answer?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20541412 Mon, 26 May 2008 13:18:33 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20541237
No one not even you will put 40g's (cost much higher) and suck up the cost when you are only getting a few dollars in return. If you want the U.S to win in broadband speeds across the world you will deregulate the market and allow players to free roam with only consumer protection policies.

If you don't like the whole idea then I suggest you Foff because if I where to own a corporation I would of told you I am only deploying in places where I see a return in my investments because it costs thousands and millions of dollars to operate a national network that spans from sea to shining sea.

I won't put profitable areas at risk because I need to drop down 200K to invest in a infrastructure that serves only 200 person town in the middle of Montana and half of them are not even interested in the service and expect to have crew members drop a 10km line and somehow provide power to the equipment in the middle where there is no power and pretty much the area the lines travel are swamp land so I need to setup a small elevated rise and bring all tons of other expenses into the mix.

Of course we are also in charge of employees so we need to make sure they are working safely at all times with a safety inspector on site and machinery to make the foundation of where we need to buy special batteries and solar panels to power the equipment to up and running 24/7/365 days a year because batteries last forever right?

Of course if we drop one of these boxes in front of your home, then you cry and complain about how ugly it looks, well jack ass we had to put it somewhere.

I swear...I think I can understand why people who work in the field don't like speaking to customers period.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20541237 Mon, 26 May 2008 12:43:28 EDT Re: What did you expect? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-What-did-you-expect-20540704 --
