I also agree with Peter.
Life would have been much easier for me along the way, if I executed that
advise sooner.
However, now I have more pipes to fills, and can still follow that advice on
a larger scale.
Now I can serve 90% of the leads that come in with little new cost, apposed
to 10% of the leads at a high cost.

Tom,
My limited exposure has a different perspective:
It is easier to keep building out instead of selling deep.
A prospect comes to the WISP with a $400 per month pipe and the WISP
builds to him.
There is the hope (and the hype) that this prospect will be the first of
many - and the footprint is extended.
I don't see fiber providers selling deep. I don't see many WISP selling
deep either.
The cash flow comes from filling the pipe.
That's my 2 cents.

Mac,
Great insight. But the truth is we are not just wireless alcholics with
an addiction to build. There is a reason we (WISPs) keep building. The
reason is.... after considering the impact the new tower build would
have, we can truthfully look at the big picture and say that our company
is better off with the tower than without, from an evaluation/financial
point of view. If a move brings a company in a positive direction, why
not do it? The new tower never costs as much as the early ones.
Everytime a new tower is built, new opportunity gets created, but old
costs get shared, such as the upfront fixed costs of backbone transit
bandwdith and primary overhead office staff. In this business, its hard
to stay small.
