Re: Coverage and Availability I own a wisp and have had QWEST come into my area with grant money,I had invested over $800,000 out of pocket money for several small towns, I offer free setup and free equipment, I had my network in place 1 year before QWest was awarded the Grant money for both towns, even the person in charge of the comunity broadband grant program said this was unfair,but the big telcos have enough money to push anything through, fair or not, the real thing about this is the large companies go into a small town put dsl in, then do not get any of the other people outside of town, leaving not enough customers left to pay for another isp to put in a network to get these people becouse the cost is too high I feel the grants should pay for cheaper bandwith for the existing isps this would allow us to to compete with QWest and some of the other big telcos and offer the up to 8megs for $14.99 a month |
