We have looked at it 6 ways from Sunday and as a guy who used to do this years ago, it's just not worth it. You can charge for the antenna installation for example, but there is no ongoing revenue stream unless you bundle it with some type of IPTV. Even then, the revenue is like $4 per month, more or less. You can't put the antenna on the same pole as the CPE or you need filtering/separation. I've seen Ubiquiti radios hose up TV if they are too close for example. Bottom line, if you can get $250 per installation and you keep your equipment costs down to less than $100, it might be worth it if your techs have extra time on their hand or you need filler work for them.

Is there any potential for a added revenue stream by offering anything like a maintenance agreement or OTA DVR or anything of the sort. It really doesn't seem like anything that could require much maintenance. Just wondering if I'm missing a possibility of some revenue that I hadn't considered much before.
