| Goals of the Network | Goal was to provide symmetrical 25x25, 50x50, 100x100 to Gigabit for area customers with no hope of getting over 6 megabits from incumbent providers. We wanted to build and be "in the black" with at least $10,000 per month revenue in 90 days. We wanted billing and back office to be working and sufficient. |
| Goals Achieved | Not FoundNot FoundWe easily met and surpassed our goals. Building the network took approximately 30 days and with customers paying first bills at 60 days. Approximately 25 customers were paying within 90 days. 3 customers at 100x100 5 customers at 50x50 17 customers at 25x25 Virtually all customers wanted phone lines. 8 customers wanted new phones installed, as well. These customers had not had adequate internet to ever investigate installing IP phones. |
