[LINK] What Does a Gigabyte Cost, Revisited

[Kim Holburn]

An interesting article on the cost of a gigabyte in Canada which is not unrelated to cost of a gigabyte anywhere.

I noticed though in one of the last comments, this:

> While I haven't been in the industry 30 years, I was there when DSL deployments took off working on engineering, design and costing (back when we did use DS3 and OC3 links to the tier ones). Then I moved to wireless (cellular/3G and up). It is no secret that the average cost for 3G internet access services for North American operators is in the range of 1c per served MB. That is approximately 100 times more than in wireline (specifically: dsl - cable is even cheaper).


There you have it stated, although not proved, and I would like to see a detailed study:
wireless broadband is 100 times the cost of wired.  Cable and glass-wire even cheaper.
