No it's not...I didn't mean it that way. At least there are some mountains or
something to wirelessly backhaul to another place. Where I am at it's just
hills and hills and then some more hills. The hills usually run in an average
of height of 100' - 300' of each other. Once you find a way to go 20 miles you
hit another hill thats 300' higher than you were. So you either build a 1000'
tower and hope for the best or you put up 10 towers to go 50 miles, either get
VERY expensive.

I have two OC-3 connections (155Mbps) and one OC-12 connection
(620Mbps)... and even at those levels, I still average $50/meg as my hard cost.
I am selling 10Mbps x 10Mbps dedicated connections to businesses and schools,
etc. for $500/month.

I too would love to know that formula. I doubt if it would work in
rural Tama County Iowa. Most businesses are agribusiness (i.e. farmers) and I
already have most of them in my footprint. My biggest obstacle right now is
finding cheap bandwidth. So even a statement that bandwidth is cheap right now
does not apply to me.

I wish I had $500/mth business customers to sign up everyday!

Been there, done ALL of that. Not worth the headaches. Bandwidth is
CHEAP now... time is still the most valuable thing in this business...
I can spend hours messing, tweaking, fighting, adjusting, etc. a cache
proxy, or in that same amount of time I can go install a business
connection for $500/month and pay for ANY additional bandwidth it may
save me. And I can do this every day. :)

(another box or two to maintain, some sites don't like to be cached, customer
support calls, web sites blocking a certain IP address because ALL the traffic
from your network is coming from the cache server IP, etc.).

create an ACL to deny caching them. Still too much to maintain? Deny caching
all content by default, then create an ACL which only allows caching of sites
you choose.

can be fully transparent appearing as if the requests were sourced directly
from a client instead of your Squid box.
