Re: A glaring omission noted in Austin BB start-up battle coverage.

Hi Allan,

Thank you for posting the interesting article about the Austin scene. :)

Any clue as to what the projected monthly fees are to be for the Grande Communications and WINfirst networks? This seems key to the eventual success of either effort.

The figure quoted for the all-optical distribution (The Denver company says it will spend $1,000 for each home that its network passes. ) would be a tremendous advance in the state of the art. It compares remarkably well to the first of these systems, pioneered in Tsukuba City, Japan, where the FO infrastructure was installed at a cost of $500,000 per residence served in the early '80's. FWIW, that system was eventually abandoned as unfeasible. Wonder why.

Best, Ray
