Re: Broadband - hardly
Hmm, wonder if that means cheaper local bandwidth for WISPs where CenLink won't reach? |

Pleasant Hill, MO | That would be cool if they did cause that could mean cheaper bandwidth for the WISP I use. |

| That's assuming your ISP touches the local phone system. From your forum posts (going off the top of my head here) they appear to have their own wireless distribution system back to Kansas City. I might be wrong, but if they don't buy telco circuits their bandwidth costs won't change.
Though if CenLink hooks together their backbone well enough for cheap enough other providers might come in due to cheaper startup costs (lot less expensive to start out with a few T1s than to build a wireless distribution system) and introduce competition into the area.
So I suppose the biggest factor in pricing such stuff out is competition. Though it seems cable companies tend to be cheaper than telcos for everything like this, albeit at lower quality levels... |
