Maybe you can tell us about ROI of these non-WiFi options. I have a hard enough time understanding how dial-up makes money, much less unlimited DSL or cable modems or high-speed wireless. Let's say I want to feed 100 customers in a small town. How much will I spend on Alvarion equipment alone? What's the CPE cost? As for years of experience - in my 20+ years, I've always found it interesting that the big players need to send their scouts and evangelists to find the small-time mailing lists to find out what's really going on. :-) - John -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
