I think ATT and Verizon are facing considerable bleeding from the
growing segment of the population who are dropping the land lines and
going strictly wireless phone service (like me). Getting them into a DSL
contract makes them keep their land line for another year (or pay a $200
early disconnect fee). The $12.99 probably also requires that they get
Callwaiting, CallerID, overpriced longdistance, etc etc etc. so its
probably closer to $40/mo anyway.
In some markets, I understand that the phone company can get up to
$100/mo subsidy from the USF "free money" fund. Another reason to lock
you into another year of using the copper.

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.
