Our first 30 pack of SM's was around $400 each, now we pay $275 each.
It's not Motorola, it's the industry. Ever see how much a car cost 5 years
ago? See how much it costs today? How about a brand new Dell computer.
Again, it's not Moto, it's the industry and the market that controls the
pricing.
Our competition is the cable company, the telephone company, and some other
little WISP's in town using 802.11b and KN. We blow them away.
Quite possibly the biggest reason we can compete with cable is that our
network is 10x more reliable and we can offer an SLA and uptime guarantee.
Canopy, when using the BAM software, is also burstable - I sell a customer
384Kbps and when they get 4.2Mbps they shit. (And then tell all their
friends.)

I don't know Jason. I certainly can side with you on a few of your posts
but how is Motorola any different? Ever see what MOT sells a cable modem
for? 5 years ago I paid $350 for one. I figured it would be cheaper than
the $15/mo rental. I think they are around $50-$75 now?
How much is that SM? and the AP? Who is your competition, who is
supplying them products and who has the deep pockets?
