Re: Municipal cable companies

No - if you are a small municipal and you have the 2 options of:

- Having a major cable corporate to do the work and offer the municipal a small kickback

- Do it your self - to boldly go.....

What do you do?

If you own the cables you can start with as few as 200 internet subscribers and still earn (a lot of) money. But you have to talk to suppliers, make support and take ownership. And have some start capital.

Or do you lean back and let the corporate do the work and take money...

We have done it our self for the last 10 years but it was no always smooth sailing - we had to have a new provisioning system developed, the learning curve has steep and there have been times when we had problems of getting the cost to cover the income.
