Actually earthlink will sell to competitors but at thier cost. So it doesn't cost earthlink a penny to sell to competition. The general idea is basically to replace the dialup subscribers with wifi subscribers. The total cost per subscriber is about the same as a dialup infrastructure provided you get enough customers per base station. In reality all they need is about 4 monthly paying customers per base station to make a profit on an adsl setup. 10 for a SDSL setup The idea is sound. Margin is good. Once everyone in the world moves to wifi Earthlink will be sitting on a gold mine of customers. |
