A guy from Vivint just came by - they want to put an antenna on my house

[statman]

that will be the access point for about 400 homes in Traverse Mountain to have wireless high speed internet. I talked to the technical guy who went up on my roof and determined that from my roof they can see the tower where they'll get the signal from, as well as the roofs of most houses in my subdivision and virtually all the houses in two other subdivisions. The business people are supposed to call later today or tomorrow. What kind of recompense should I be getting for the use of my high point of land?

A free security system install. You'll only be on the hook for the low monthly payment of $49.99 for the next two years.

That's kinda what I'm guessing they'll say - at which point I'll tell them to go to hell.

[Jeff Lebowski]

$500 per month.

They'll just find someone else to trick.

That is an interesting question, I have a friend that owns a hotel on the bluff in St. George they have several cell phone towers on the building and they receive about $5000 a month.

When I worked with Verizon Wireless corporate in Seattle, we had someone like this in Gig Harbor, Wa. They had a house set in the perfect location to put a booster to fix a cellular black hole.

Repeater was the size of a hot tub. It was turned sideways and installed next to his garage. It was fenced in, and the fencing and repeater were painted by Verizon to match the garage.

I believe that Verizon agreed to cut him a monthly check that was equal to his mortgage payment +$500 a month.

Sweet gig for him.

I think with the fast internet and television package, he'll have little trouble finding the 72 beautiful virgins. Though they may not actually be virgins.

Define 'virgin'

If I was Stat, I'd take willing and flexible regardless of previous experience. Plus, free HBO.

Vivint stopped by today. They want to use my house as a hub home. The run fiber to their tower and then beam it to a dish on top of my house. Then there are line of site repeaters or something that beam it to 10-15 houses in my hood. My internet is free of charge although their equipment is going to add about five bucks a month to my power bill. Engineer guy said I'll get about 120mbps to my house. My Comcast is sufficient but I hate what they charge. I read the fine print and signed my name. Should be interesting to see how it works out.

How big is the dish?

How big is the dish?

One or two feet. They couldn't answer the question definitively when I asked. I guess it depends on distance.
