Re: [Plug] Worldlynx


Agreed concerning the  illegitemacy of my suggested actions.  Guess I'll have to
come up with the 135 by myself.  Significantly more difficult...

I think piggybacking might break the "rules" or at least change the pricing
structure.  However, I'm sure they would be happy to discuss hubbing a sub-net
with
you.  Perhaps you could set up a local wireless net with a range of several 100
to
1000 feet and then resell access with a margin for yourself.  Wireless NIC
prices
will hopefully drop from theh $400 range to the $200 range.
