Building a Wireless ISP Network... The Opportunity

In the US, most of the people Streamyx Streamyx U Com My20160 one or more broadband access services to choose from Streamyx Combo variations of DSL from multiple vendors Streamyx86624 cable. That is if you're in Streamyx Streamyx70369 metropolitan area. For more rural locations your choices are limited.....if you have any at Streamyx Streamyx Faq17472 Therein lies an opportunity for those willing to pursue it.

In the rural areas of the country, the selection is limited. Satellite is available to Streamyx Adsl52903 (at high cost), but between dial up and T1 there are no options for many residents. Satellite suffers from latency, making it unsuitable for VoIP and some other real time Internet services. Some applications that should not be sensitive to latency (email, Web forms) will perform poorly or fail due to the increased packet time.

The traditional carriers (RBOC) and resellers face a cost issue in bringing broadband service to outlying areas. Without a concentration of users the per user cost at published rates causes either a poor or negative margin. The way cost accounting is done in larger Streamyx modem makes the business case worse for a large carrier. Cost allocations between departments for such things as floor space, personnel, and backend support end up as added costs rather than leverage opportunities. Traditional wired service will not reach outlying residents Streamyx Guide19868 mandated by law, and the trend is against Streamyx6636 happening in the near future.

So the opportunity is open for a business offering Internet broadband access service to outlying residents.

Therein lies a tremendous opportunity.
