It is CIOs and teams like this. You have to love their supposed analysis document. Using a 33% household buy through rate in their conservative model! Only $1000 for each wimax base station and antenna cost in 2006. And for one of the most expensive and recurring cost of getting the bandwidth supposed minimum of 5000 housholds to the internet, they don't even quantify a number just say "some multiple of what is paid today". A typical lazy and far too rosy analysis to try procure funding from non-technical politicians. Good thing it seems their politicians didn't bite back then, but I'm sure all that information has been corrected. And we wonder why muni wireless projects have been failing.
