elmat:
Thank you for your obvious devotion. As one capitalist to another, I would like to make two broad points:
1) You are basing your projections to too great an extent on your European telecom experience.
2) You are underestimating the entrepreneurial energy of the good ol' US of A.
I repeat my contention that the so-called "last mile" problem is about to get solved here, and solved in a hurry with a variety of wireless solutions.
As one capitalist to another, I would like to show you how anyone, even you, with $500,000 to $1,000,000 kicking around could get in on this last great opportunity to collect the tolls on the ISH.
1) Relocate to a US city with an ethnic composition of your choice - you could get some ideas here, perhaps: signonsandiego.com
2) Call Motorola and buy a 1008CK Cluster Management Module and a 5700BH Canopy BackHaul Unit (if you determine that you need it), together with a selection of Canopy modules of your choice. You being a telecom expert 'n all, I'm sure that you know that because this equipment operates in the Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) spectrum of 5.25-5.35 GHz, No FCC license is required. motorola.com
3) Find an existing tower in your chosen community, determine what local permits are required, if any, and apply for them. This step may take a couple of months, so be sure to build this into your cash flow projections. When permitted, install your equipment.
4) Sign up for a fiber network connection of your desired bandwidth at WorldCom's (or company of your choice) local NOC.
5) Sign up customers (I'll leave this to you, you're an entrepreneur, you can figure this out), install Canopy modules at customer premises.
6) Collect checks for a while. In three years, sell out to roll-up artist of your choice.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask any of the estimated two to three hundred wireless ISPs now in various stages of development in the US. Here are a couple to get you started:
