And all they sell is 100mbit and up $x000 per month dedicated circut to the internet. Whats the point, you might aswell say Level 3 is a new broadband choice for consumers (if you pay enough)!!

connect to their ring (SDH loop ?) and reseel the access via WiFi. i think you can easier than Comcast to get the license if you are a local guy (esp if you are a non profit),

Wifi doesnt have much bandwidth, plus you would HAVE to oversubscribe, how much is a T1 again? And the people of the neighborhood probably dont care for broadband since they dont know how to use a computer, all geeks/nerds/yuppies/technophiles/cyberpunks moved to other areas a long time for broadband. The ppl of the neighborhood got along w/o broadband upto now, and how will this change their dialup ways? Surly you can find a couple people, but will it pay for the loop costs, let alone ISP charges?
