This initial report about USURF America can be accessed at www.LRPonline.net and provides an analysis of the opportunity in the Fixed-Wireless Internet access market targeted by USURF America. Laguna Research Partners' report on USURF America provides a thorough analysis of its strategy of maintaining low infrastructure costs and exploiting small cities first. Low Infrastructure Costs In small market Quick-Cell build-outs, initially USURF America will deploy a single server cell, complete other necessary activities and place the first customer online for less than $20,000. These small Quick-Cell server modems cover approximately 7 square miles and can handle about 125 wireless DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary (256 Kbps) customers, 256 Kbps being the minimum speed service offered. When that first server modem nears capacity, another identical, completely integrated server modem will be deployed at a cost of about $3,000. Small Cities First USURF America will offer its Quick-Cell wireless Internet access service first in cities with populations under 100,000 located within a geographic cluster of similar cities. These markets, in general, are marked by relatively minor competition for Internet access and a lack of affordable high-speed Internet See broadband. access service. In these environments, USURF America believes it will be able to distinguish its Quick-Cell service from other available services. Again, it is Quick-Cell's low build-out costs that permit USURF America to pursue this strategy. The Quick-Cell systems currently being constructed in Del Rio Del Rio (rē`ō), city (1990 pop. 30,705), seat of Val Verde co., W Tex., on the Rio Grande opposite Ciudad Acuña, Mexico; founded 1868, inc. 1911. , San Angelo San Angelo (săn ăn`jəlō), city (1990 pop. 84,474), seat of Tom Green co., W Tex., where two forks join to form the Concho River; laid out 1869, inc. 1903. , Fredricksburg, Kerrville and Rocksprings, Texas, are examples of this small market cluster strategy.
