You can't compete on price. You will never win. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint,
etc. don't have to make money on internet services right now.... they
can stand to drop millions each year, until things settle down (10 years
from now?).
We have CableOne and Qwest in our market. We are still doing $40 per
month for 512k service and $50 per month for 1meg service. We will never
have the number of customers that the big guys have, but we provide
local support, employ local people, and have great customer service. In
our coverage area, we have less than 2% of the market (based on total
population). I would be totally thrilled to get to 3%.

Through a promotion, AT&T has again cut its DSL price to $12.99 per
month for the first 12 months in an attempt to aggressively woo
potential customers as an alternative to cable companies. After a
one-year contract, the price increases to $29.99. AT&T also cut its
mid-tier DSL offering to $17.99 from $21.99, which jumps to $34.99
after 12 months. Verizon launched a $14.99 DSL service with a slower
connection speed last August. It will be interesting to see if this
DSL price change bundles into AT&T's CallVantage for a better offering.

The best is a mix of solar and wind.
I know of some that use propane too.
I've never done it either though :-)

Subject: [WISPA] non-grid power
Just wondering what others have done for non-grid power options at
towers. We are thinking solar is the way to go, but since we have
never done anything like this I wanted to check with others.
