What happens if you only get 30 sites signed up?   How long can 
you afford to provide a uplink with only 30 subscribers?  Will
you refund the monies received?

One can purchase the hardware for less than $1000 (wholesale) --
your price is quite high -- how much for subscription after the 
initial feed expires?
