Yeah....but for the 477 filing the documents all refer to "advertised"
speeds.
For residential you can use the "maximum advertised speed" that's available.
For commercial you can use the "maximum CIR" that's available.
What I took away from my reading was they want you to report stuff that
anybody could call in and order right now with no excessive farting
around, not stuff that you could hypothetically do if you really wanted to.
Sort of but not totally. For example, if you are rural and don’t have
wireline competitors like cable, low-cost fiber, or DSL that can
deliver 25-40Mbps, then you can be more competitive with commercial.
In that case, You can charge $300 or more for 25Mbps and up. In
suburbs and city environments for the most part, cable providers are
delivering 25/5for about $145, 50/10 for about $250, and 100/20 for
$350. If your last mile as a WISP is off a PTMP vertical asset like a
tower, not only don’t you have the technology to guarantee the 100Mbps
for example, you don’t have a lot of room on your AP to deliver 50 or
25Mbps. It’s just not profitable at those levels if you use a
standard tower based model in those environments, even assuming you
have little interference which is another issue. You also can’t push
low-cost business as an option since even 25Mbps DSL is only $100 or less.
With residential you not only have more options, you also have a much
higher density of users to get a great return on the vertical asset.
That being said, there are still opportunities in commercial using
other designs. Although there are still pockets of commercial where
you might be able to provide a lower cost model if the only other
option the businesses have is ADSL , for the most part, we are now
targeting businesses that are willing to pay $350 per month or more.

This choice is based on how you market your services is it not?
