| Re: $100,000 a bit pricey Even if you use Jupiter Research's figure of $150,000 per square mile over five years, that works out to $30,000 per square mile per year. There could easily be 3,000 people living within a square mile in an urban area. That works out to $10/year/person, which is less than $1/month/person.
So, how many people will actually subscribe in order to calculate the cost per subscriber? At a cost of less than $1/month I don't think there should be a subscription fee. The cost of the fee collection and administration wouldn't make it worth while. Would a 50% subscription rate for free broadband wireless be feasible? What would the value to the community be for that? |
