Any good contract defines for the purposes of the contract the terms

Well, I think the question is... how many subs will be successful in getting
lower prices and actual delivery of the service? . If I gave in to every
customer that blindly believed the random mailer they received in the mail,
I'd discount prematurely. What I'm trying to do is when they call, to
Nope, just a 2.4 crossroads. Sorry.

There is a local auto parts store in town here that has a sign on the front
door that states "We are NOT participating in this recession." I thought
about how it would apply to a WISP and it shows the customer that our

There is always the option for private lender.
One way to find one is to ask your accountant / financial advisor. They
likely will have a large number of wealthy clients, and advise on how they
invest their money. At minimum inside knowledge of the ROI they are

Just curious what financing vehicles besides leasing wisps are using?
Interest rates on credit lines (if you can get them) are quite

You are in a very fortunteately situation where you have reached a level, where

If what Mark is saying is correct, it doesn't matter how successful you are

Deflation, in the unlikely event that it could occur, will likely only be
really bad in certain market segments. In our current case, it is
commodities like gold, oil, copper, etc...of course they had a huge run-up
