Re: Lightspeed node in Milwaukee area?
said by kherr  :They can put one of those boxes in my yard(front, back, middle) and I won't say a thing!! It wouldn't be unreasonable to start from the position of totally free service for the life of the lease for yourself and all subsequent homeowners.
If they've got a better offer from a neighbor, tell them you want landscaping, an attached playhouse or potting shed to screen it, driveway plowing and a reasonable rent with inflation clause. That way, it could be a selling point when you move, as long as people wouldn't mind potential tech visits at all times of the day.
For something this size, they should be negotiating leases like the cellular carriers do, not using perceived monopoly power to put stuff whereever they want.
They would love to start up in the most densely-populated municipality in Wisconsin but the catch is that retrofitting with small lots and aerial utilities in backyards is going to be a tough sell.
