said by knightmb :said by TKJunkMail : bring up Google Earth, map out some basics of how things should be setup and then wonder where the other 95% of the quote is going? Why does it take so much for the equipment when it's so dang dirt cheap? Where is all the money going? Are they paying every one who works on the project a $1 million year salary? ? ] ] That's the problem, any jackass thinks they can plan this (via Goog earth or other ) and if the world was flat, that MIGHT work. In reality, waveform mapping (and TESTING) may not conform to the physical landforms, or the streeview. There is Theory and there are studies (surveys) to confirm said theory . (the FCC use to see this as a Primary mission) A realistic bidder would bid double their estimate (plus) but those bids are ALWAYS to high. Those with "Hype", get the low bid, ask for more, and the project fails. |
