I can appreciate the placement of the Robox for the larger branch offices, but it completely misses the price-point for the 1-2 user office. $800/office is a bit crazy no matter now you look at it when small business has 20+ remote sales offices with 1-2 people in each. I am in fact evaluating placing 2 roboxes in their organization and 1 gb-1000. I may have to look at other options if I can't find a reasonable solution. Does GTA have a volume discount on the Robox that can put it under $400 to compete with similar/comparable products for under 5 users?

This type of scenario is exactly what the RoBoX was designed for-- Remote Office / Branch Office (RoBo).
