How scalable was that network? Capital costs are low for any small network, but opex is relatively high. Can you show me how it would scale upto a few thousand nodes? The problem in ISPs isn't one of bandwidth (that becomes cheaper per unit as you buy more), it's one of getting a reliable internal network which scales cheaply.
