<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hi Darin,<br>&gt;<br>&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp; How much would the bandwidth cost a month?<br>&gt;<br>&gt; -JMZ<br><br>I suppose that would depend on how much was wanted and how much was<br>actually used, and if Deru would just be an ISP or would have part
<br>ownership in the project.<br><br>In a cafe environment, the bandwidth utilization would most likely be<br>close to negligible.&nbsp;&nbsp;If it wasn't located in 3443 or 3300 N Central,<br>the costs would be swamped out by the costs of the local loops.
