There is a large, unmet demand for broadband services in rural
and remote areas. The following US market data [1]
shows that the smaller the town, the lower the rate of availability
of DSL and cable services.
Businesses with core competencies outside of providing Internet
access are finding that the lack of broadband Internet services
in their markets has created an opportunity for them to meet this
need by expanding their service line to include Internet access.
Without the wireline infrastructure and plant needed for DSL and
cable services, these providers, including electric utilities, local
phone companies and municipalities, have turned to fixed wireless
services. Fixed wireless allows the quick provisioning of broadband
Internet services in areas without adequate infrastructure for other
services. This expansion into providing Internet service can allow
companies such as electric utilities and local phone companies to
increase the total amount of revenue earned per customers.
Municipalities are finding that increasing the availability of
broadband Internet services in their localities has the effect of
making them more attractive places in which to work and live.
Spectrum Wireless can help you gain a better understanding of the
opportunity created by offering fixed wireless broadband Internet
access in rural and remote areas.
