The economics of fixed wireless are questionable, it seems, at least
under some circumstances:
So here is the juicy detail
The figures we have been provided are as follows:
Cost to install FW in a Premises = $1,300
Average cost for each upgrade a FW tower = $60,000
So costs for sunset Ridge Estate to date:
65x$1300 = $84,500
4x$60,000 = $240,000
total= $324,500
Costs to put FW in all houses allotted to Bellingen
247x$1300 = $321,000
7 x $60,000 = $420,000
Total = $751,100
Cost to install FTTC in FW areas of Bellingen
247x$2600 =$642,200
To remind readers of the difference between FW and FTTC
Projected speeds of FTTC = 5Gbps
Projected speeds of FW = 0.1Gbps
Cost to upgrade from fTTC to FTTP = $1000
Cost to upgrade from FW to FTTP = $50,000
NBN were provided these costs and did not deny them
