This is an evolving situation and varies from city to city. Many building owners see the value of broadband access to their building and roof access can be a source of revenue for them. NextWeb has a huge advantage in its partnership with Kaiser for roof access for its base stations and is pursuing other sources of this valuable commodity. NextWeb is developing an incentive program for the landlords of end-user buildings and expects to aid and participate in many of these negotiations. In certain cases, it may also be possible to avoid roof access and connect through the window of the end-user s office.
Creative solutions are likely to be needed in the most difficult situations.
NextWeb's service supports symmetrical broadband with the flexibility to increase service levels in the future. Because NextWeb's wireless technology is not dependent on, or limited by, your local phone company and its copper wires, service can be installed in as little as one day. You can request an upgrade to your service via our web site or customer support line at 510 661-0900 and it will be provisioned before the next business day by NextWeb without anyone visiting your location.
