Re: Share the costs.... And profit
said by Toadman  :I understand if they want to charge extra for those "beyond" installations, but if they are going to run the wire infront of 25 other houses and then feel they are going to charge those people, its time for rebates or sharing the profit that they make off of those customers. Simple Amortization people, its not that complicated. That's exactly how it works. Each time someone from one of those other homes (less than 20 normally; if it is 20 or more than it fits under mandatory buildout) gets an installation, the original person receives a rebate on their install. Once a certain number of people install (normally somewhere between 10 and 20), the original person receives a full rebate down to the cost of a normal installation.
