[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2694630, member: 58386"] In one sense of the word you're correct. Ground truck deployments out in the rural areas are a shadow, way too thin to take on time of day and day of week specific boxes. On the other hand given their recent actions I think it's safe to say that some type of restructuring is eminent . The "he's going that way so he can take this with him"mentality appears to be growing. If they can find a way to throw x boxes on a Ground ride with the mindset that it doesn't cost the ISP anything to to take it because " he's going that way" and pay him next to nothing because "he's going that way" why wouldn't they?. The savings would be enormous.For the metro ISP he may be able to get away with it without having to commit a lot in the way of additional assets For the rural ISP he may have to add trucks and manpower running out ahead of the ground grunt in order to get the time of day/day of week stuff out there in time. Just as is the case with running 6 days a week year round will X fork over the bucks to provide the iSP with value in balance with what they demand ? [/QUOTE]
