>>would I want to become an ISP/carrier/consultant to my neighbors?

NIMBY! <g>

besides, they (at least the kids) want as much bandwidth as this household. Don't think the wireless BW would sustain it. Anyhoo the terrain wouldn't either - lotsa hills.

The idea of a fat drop (don't go there) by the vendors for a neighborhood makes sense but it seems that neighborhoods in the western 'burbs (west of the Hudson, at least) tend to spread out quickly. I know that a dish installer said that $250 is the going rate for a business dish (flat roof, easy access, etc). Wonder what the real world cost for a home dish installation would be and corresponding cost for curbside cable/fiber feed + installations in comparison?

Anyone have an economic model on that?
