It takes a bit to ramp up. The first 6 months are often pretty slow, after that it normally kicks up really quickly. Especially lately. We're seeing anywhere from 50 to 100% per year growth rates depending on market size, funding, network type etc. I'm not advertising because we can't cash

$848k for control of a 2x10 MHz chunk over a fairly large rural area for 15 years is not bad at all. If one's winning bid were $1 million and they received a 25% discount as a "very small business" for a total payment of $750k, that'd work out to just $50k/year. Of course you need to have to pay ou
