It doesn't matter where it comes from. If I can use a $5 bill to buy
two loaves of bread at Walmart, who cares what it will buy in China?

China, then US, then you. The US has to pay more for the China
products which means you do too. It's a global economy, not a
national.

power bill, why does it matter?

"put some money in the bank"
The question is: which currency?
With the dollar falling (or failing) what good is it going to do in the
bank?
I guess I'll just keep pouring it back into the company because its
gonna be worthless soon.
Any other ideas guys?

I'm gonna work REALLY hard to pay down debt and put some money in the

over the next 3 or 4 years. I want to be ready to pick those companies
up.

Patrick,
Not being one for gov money....
We have excellent credit. We have that because we only expand at a
rate the will allow funding (new business) to cover our costs. So the
cycle goes:
1. Build out X number of Towers.
2. Market X number of Areas.
3. Install Customers to X*Y until well funded.
Repeat.
I think a lot of the companies that take stimulus money are going to
go under in the long run. They will go like the dot-coms. Build
build Build.... Ah shit no revenue!
That being said, we are vertical, all workers work for the company.
That is the only way you can control quality. Good employees are very
hard to find. For every 100-200 applications/resumes, maybe 10 are
worth talking to seriously. You're lucky to find 1 that is worth
hiring.
Always a ray of sunshine!

Patrick,
#1- Labor: There is very little skilled resources here.
#2- Funding: Especially for labor. Normal financing channels are
available but I will not take on too much debt at one time.
#3- Time: There is little extra time to dedicate towards expansion
versus daily operations.
Notes-
Employees: Too small to enjoy such a "luxury".
Stimulus: I don't believe in it and did not apply.
Technologies: Proprietary equipment are a bit too expensive unless you
buy CPE in 100 packs. Even then, the AP's are still expensive.

Regardless of your tech choice -- Moto, 802.11-based, WiMAX or other,
I
am interested to know what are the greatest barriers to growth and
why?
Some possibilities:
Is it funding and if so, are your normal channels for money frozen or
otherwise gone?
Is it competition? If so, how specifically.
Are you constrained from hiring due to high cost of employee benefits
(e.g. health insurance)?
Are you stalled waiting for response from your stimulus application?
Are you stalled trying to defend against someone else's stimulus
application that would include your market?
Are the current technologies too expensive or technicall inadequate to
deliver what you need to compete?
