DSL modems are between $100-$200. This would be much crappier and much more expensive then running cat5. 160 units would be like $16,000-$32,000 for the whole complex. I am sure you could get a company to put a bid for much less then this. And with the argument about having the tenants paying for the modems, why not just have them pay for the cat5 drop? cat5 would be alot less hassle on the support side, it would be more reliable, take less equipment, cheaper, and faster. Why even think about DSL?
You still dont get it. Its profit loss because the person took the radio in the trash INSTEAD of buying one from the store. And there are still the issues called LIABILITY. There should be no need in having secure dumpsters to "properly dispose of it" at an additional cost just to throw something away so a "recycler" like yourself doesnt hurt himself while trying to rumage a broken radio from the dumpster.
Several points have been made: 1. Liability 2. Profit Loss (losing a potential sale is a loss) 3. Store appearance (bums in trashcans dont help that one)
I hate to reply to trolls BUT....... I used to work retail, and anytime an employee saw someone going through the trash then we were to ask the person to leave and/or call the police. The reasons behind this:
1. Liability - If the person going through the trash falls in and hurts themselves, or finds something in the trash and hurts themselves (like an extension cord that has been cut with exposed wires, plugs it in and gets zapped), or is digging thru and cuts themselves on a razor blade then your looking a lawsuit.
2. Image - Who wants to go to a store when you have to walk past a group of bums looking for freebies in the dumpster. Middle America is so scared of confrontations that they will drive down the block to another store just so they dont have to lie to someone about having spare change in there pocket.
3. Lost Sales - If a product is damaged then you can't sell it at most places. It may get thrown in the trash but what is going to stop some slashdot nerd from trying to fix it or mod it into his computer or using it for spare parts? If your going to the Electronics store to buy a radio to listen to while working on the yard, and you see one in the trash that has a busted faceplate, why wouldn't you just take the busted ugly one then buy a new one? All the sudden the store actually loses a sale because of an item that was damaged and not able to sell as new.
So it looks like there in MA your not as sensible as you think. Just because its not of use to the company doesn't mean it wont cause the company profit loss if someone takes it. Employees that report dumpster diving are more valuable then you think.
I just bought a whole bunch of 50 packs from frys electronics for $4 each, we could make alot of money shippin them over. Is there any laws on purchasing from ebay and shipping blank media to canada? smuggling blank media sounds good.
Point is we are not in the same league as the companies, were not even the same sport, we're the spectators. We are not trying to beat the other "team". If the consumers beat the company then that means the company goes bankrupt and everyone loses, all the customers that company had need to find new service, all the employees (which you are an employee of some company) lose there jobs, all the other companies that sold supplies and services to the now bankrupt company are either screwed out of money owed to them or they lost a customer. Mark-ups are not that terrible, just pick a diffrent company. There is no monopoly, there is allways an alternative.
I think everyone talking about companies screwing over, and the consumer getting smart is null and void. Companies need to make money, all companies have a mark-up. Look at jewlery stores in the mall, they have a mark-up of about 6x the wholesale price. You can buy the same jewlery from a dealer for what you would pay for the downpayment at a "mall" shop. Without mark-up none of us would have money. Its called economy. get real people. what would be better, all of us paying a marked up price, or us screwing the companies so they cut there profit margin even lower and have to go chapter 11? Running a business costs money, deal with it.
In the article they mention 7-12 kBYTES(56-96kbits about what 3G claims to be) which would be faster then 56kbits or 28.8kbits. The diffrence between bits and bytes is a factor of 8. It amazes me that no one ever seems to know the diffrence between kbit transfer and kbyte transfer. Either that or they allways get it wrong.
I am buddhist, and about 3 weeks ago the tree in my front yard fell onto my brand new 30k truck. The insurance claims its an act of god, both auto and homeowners. I don't believe in god, so what act is this? You pay all your insurance bill every month, and when it comes time to get some of that money back, they give you a tube of vasaline and ask you to bend over for them AGAIN!

It's not hardware, it's software on a smart chip. This will be just like the DSS cards I make all the time, that was "un-crackable" too. I give it 6 months before someone has a working fix.
as in my comment from central California to somewhere in Mexico. thats a little further then 10 miles. No base stations inbetween, straight from a tower in cali to a tower in mexico.
None at all. I seriously think its better quality then POTS. DataBell is where I got mine, there a Vonage reseller, and they also offer to pay for your internet connection!
forgot to mention, the Cisco ATA-186 although I know these things inside and out, once programed by someone like myself or the company you buy it from, I can literally give it to my 10 yr old cousin to plug into the cat5, plug in a phone and pick it up to call grandma. For residential use it is $40 a month for unlimited long distance, and it has its own local phone number that my family can call, wherever I plug it into it can recieve calls (california local number when the box is plugged in to a network in china, I still get the call) and the sound quality is better then phones. And the thing uses any regular phone. These VoIP phones are going to take over. I get a voicemail box I can check from any internet connection, or any POTS phone, and I can set call forwarding from the net, to any phone. Check these things out http://www.databell.net
VoIP does not require a computer. Cisco ATA-186! I have one of these things, fucking works AWESOME. Internet Connection? Yea you need one of those, but there are companies like http://www.databell.net that will pay for your internet connection all the way up to a free T1 if you make enough long distance calls!
You can get 10+ miles @ 11Mbs from nothing more then pringles cans, and I know of a current 2.4ghz project that is piping 11+Mbs from central California to somewhere in Mexico.
