"CDRD will put itself out of business"... i Thought it was MCOM, now the little bit of money needed, and you're jumping back to Sprint-PCS???

In a very large city you may be able to provide the service for 30 bucks a month, because of the increased scale, but that will not be the case when you try to extend the coverage outside the city limits.
Have you looked at Sprint's forecasted coverage areas... extremely spotty at best. Very few people are going to pay 30-50 bucks a month for wireless communication on their way to work, imho. Then when they drive a little further for a vacation or to visit someone, the time they really benefit from better radio, Mcom and Pcs are not available.
You were also talking about audio books being downloaded???? Is that an extra cost?? yep...

What you're saying just doesn't make sense. The business concept is so-so at best, it's pricey, and when you really need it's not there.

Great service!!!!!

You're setting yourself up for a huge disappointment... on top of that, people do not want to pay that much. Why do you think millions upon millions of people tried to get a 'free Pc' in exchange for having to watch commercials or having to sign up for an internet service contract to get an old computer??? A brand new computer for the home, which they'd use a hell of a lot more would cost between 30-50 bucks per month.
Why would millions of people not pay the 30 bucks? get sucked into a slow internet provider? why in the world do you think people are going to spend that kind of money for this spotty service you keep talking about?
