Our plan with ask for a nominal $9.99/mo subscription charge for basic residential service. For this amount, residents would get 24/7 wireless service in their homes, along with monthly updates and invoices over email. This fee would be roughly equivalent to 5-10 people sharing the cost of a conventional residential DSL account, but it would include all the benefits of a Mesh-Node Wifi network.

Residential Subscriptions Besides having basic wireless service for $9.99/mo , we are working on additional subscription schemes to offer residential service with no Captive Portal ($12/mo), or higher guaranteed bandwidth (e.g.$20). Business Subscriptions To accommodate the higher traffic demands of business, especially retail stores like cafes and coffeeshops, we anticipate asking a $20/month subscription fee specifically for participating businesses. In return for the higher subscription fee, we could offer the business ad space on the Captive Portal. Likewise, for businesses that prefer to offer free WiFi service to their customers, we could configure the Mesh to handle an additional router that broadcasts the free signal on a separate channel. This free service would still be part of the Mesh, but it would only be available in the business (i.e. within the broadcast range of the additional router). The business would need to provide their own additional WiFi router, or buy one of ours, to supply the free service. |
