Re: Why over a million $ said by Mike:You're not friends with the chairman of the NTIA so you don't get a multi-million dollar contract. Yep.
6.6 million to be exact!
All given so the baby bells can get richer by shoving out the smaller ISPs!
Let's just face it-there IS no justice! |

All given so the baby bells can get richer by shoving out the smaller ISPs! Let's just face it- there IS no justice! Lets say 600,000 to count the rent, overhead, papers, pencils and workstations.
That leaves $6 million in salaries to pay out. Lets say everyone is paid $50 an hour, that means 120,000 hours of work. I could do that all myself AND make the map look really, really pretty. |

Let's be generous and say you'll work really hard and put in 80 hrs/week on the project. That comes to 1,500 weeks or 28 years. The maps might just be out of date by then.   |

I wouldn't even need telco data. I could write a script to apply for service online on every address using the appropriate provider various states' providers, then record the results on a google maps page.
I wonder if connected nation is hiring. I would charge them $200 /hr to babysit my script. |
