Hi,
Although he has spent some time and efforts, many of his numbers are WAY
off:
$50 installs (contract labor)
customers paying $360 for installation
$40 per month ARPU (for a startup WISP is not realistic today with $15 DSL)
Just taking the installation numbers away completely changes this
sheet... we are doing $99 installs and include a free Linksys wireless
firewall/router. So now instead of making $15 per install, he will be
losing $246. So now after 2 years, the company is making $11,736 per
month profit but still shows $42,000 in debt (from the first 2 years)
and hasn't paid anything back to the investors, banks, etc.
Now, if you use the same sheet, lease the CPE ($5/mo per customer) and
still buy the Linksys router for $40, the company is making $18,800 per
month profit and has $98,000 in cash after 2 years. ;)

I have not got to the spreadsheet, but the post was well worth the 5
minute read, and I'm looking forward to getting some numbers down on
the spreadsheet. I think this could help some of us.
