The experiment at HBCSE proved conclusively that capital costs are very low. Caveat upstream has to be cheap and profits would be near zero.
Which experiment? Can you provide me the details?
The one u missed because of exams afair. We strung (wrung) up two access points. One connected to the lan and 2nd talking to the first. The aps were 802.11b afair. U could connect to them and access the net.
See, ISPs like Airtel who provide DSL services take to trenching which is a long drawn, slow and costly process. It definitely slows down their deployment and makes it costly :P But with smart ISPs like Reliance ( Jai ADAG! :P ) they just take to stringing up their fiber over their OWN street lights and "throw" them into the adjacent buildings to provide connectivity... Yup this is the way they're going to provide us with IPTV, Broadband and fixedline services. Well, atleast in the suburbs. Heh.
which is what your cablewallah did minus BMC permissions. ADAG were at the recieving end of BEST for using BEST poles. dunno if BEST pays the BMC leech for Pole space. BMC takes a cut off every hoarding, including vehicles with ads. The governments own everything including EM radiations on your behalf and charges others who charge u on your behalf.
