Re: b\w Meter? not sure about AT&T but i know sprint and TWC circuits out of SA are fairly comperable to grande. Cogent is gonna be your cheapest solution by far but they have a very limited number of breakouts in the city.
As far as wimax for the last mile. You will need some big time cash if you plan to start with a full Wimax network. We just started 2 new wimax deployments and the thruput is good (Alvarion 2.5ghz gear). But im a little worried about the SU/AP ratio. I cant see providing upwards of 20-30, 2 or 3meg accounts on a 12 meg AP radio. and with that low of a subscriber ratio your infrastructure costs will be quite high. Alvarion gear is around $60k for a 90deg sector |

| Heh, Sprint...I'd rather get a company who hasn't been in a recent peering dispute with Cogent. TWC works even though their parent (AOL) had issues with Cogent maybe six years ago...
About the WiMAX stuff, from what I've heard you can get systems that will give better throughput on 7 MHz channels. Still haven't heard back on whether 10 MHz channel equipment is available yet from Alvarion. I know that Proxim has the stuff, and they have 34 or so Mbps as the top speed in aggregate over 10 MHz. |

| TWC's parent is TWC. They were spun off remember. Just TW owns 51%+ of TWC. AOL has been pretty much kicked to the curb and its now just Time Warner. |
