Re: Refocus your efforts.

The cost of deploying versus the "relatively" small amount of potential subs is why they wont first deploy in the sticks. If you look at almost all technology deployments they usually start in tier 2 cities while they work out the kinks. This means that NYC will most likely NOT be the type of market they start out in. A place such as Syracuse or Rochester NY (two completely random examples!!) are much more likely targets until the service is up to speed. Look at Verizon's EVDO rollout as an example. They started with San Diego and a small pilot in Washington DC proper. Look at Cingulars HSDPA rollout, Detroit, Boston, etc. I hate to say it but I really dont think this type of service will be coming to the sticks (from a major player) any time soon!
