Hi Frank, Networks get "purpose built" when funding requires said purpose. We should start a pool on the number of funding sources required to cover Rhode Island (1M POPs) - 20 entities - 2000 entities? Given that Rhode Island is 1214 sq. miles and Mountain View took 380 APs to cover ~12 sq. miles, lets hazard a guess: RI is > 20k APs * $5K installed = $50/POP = ? highway bridges. Not a big committment. Noone is doing 1 Mbps per POP to 1M people for < $20/POP so we are in the ballpark. Outdoor Pre Draft N will ship next year, and will be good enough. petere
