You need to calculate the materials and labor cost, then find a company that can lay the fiber. Next you write a proposal and submit it to your local municipality. But most telcom/ISP companies are already involved in local governments and will no doubt use the power of their influence to make a compelling case why the city should contract with them and not you. _______________________________________________ BAWUG's general wireless chat mailing list [unsubscribe] http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
