| Huge risk Don't know how this is going to work given VZ couldn't make it work even with their larger scale economics. Unless Dane & his financer's are willing to take a long & low ROI, it's going to be a very rough road. |

| I agree, unless they have the capital somewhere else, or they use this as a loss leader at first, while propping it up with their DSL subscribers as well as their Enterprise Business services.
I am assuming that they will do Aerial in SF (I have never been there so I do not know if they will be required to direct bury the conduit), which will be cheaper, but still the cost of the equipment at the house could be around $250-$700 depending on what they use (whether it is setup outside the house thus hardened or an internal device). Not to mention the cost per port each user will be on the switch side. |

Only a huge risk to the Riches Beyond Imagination that Verizon executives and shareholders expect. |

capital is most likely coming from some HUGE banks- maybe GE Money Bank. Since they give money for a LOT of things- including opening up a Wendy's chain- LoL. But you can bet if they miss a payment or anything GE will be selling that network and the entire company to T or VZ. |

It's densely populated, but not so densely populated that it's almost impossible to put anything in like NYC, and there are a lot of tech-saavy people and companies in the area- i.e. the perfect place for this sort of thing. |
