Byron, CA | $60/Meg of data transfer
Did anyone else read that in the article? I'd immediately run up the BS flag for that one.
Who's gonna pay for those tens of thousands of antennas and jump through the permit process to get them installed?

No one pays $60/mbit for bulk internet transit. Low cost carriers (the cogent and like) can be had at $10/mbit with decent commit rates, even less if they’re purchasing gigs/month.
If Google is leasing dark fiber, there are still monthly reoccurring fees. I wonder if Google could afford to buy out an ISP such as cogent….just food for thought (I have zero financial information to back any of this up) |
