Re: Refocus your efforts.

Let's see, a virtual monopoly that would allow me to charge a premium for all three services, or an extremely competitive market where we're playing 'pricing war' with the incumbents.
Those markets (Northern Virginia) are so competitive because statistically there's more money to be made off of more affluent customers, packed tightly together.
I suppose DirecTV could pick and choose 2nd and 3rd tier cities to deploy Wimax towers in, but they'll still be engaged in price-wars with whatever incumbent relic is tottering around charging the maximum amount because they haven't seen what competition looks like...
If you're going to play with the big-boys, play with the big-boys. Start by deploying in dense wealthy areas, then deploy everywhere they do, charge less, and offer more. |
