Cablevision will be charging, I believe, $40/month.  But keep in mind...
they will be limiting bandwidth to 128k per person...  Not to mention the
fact that the entire city of Wichita will be fed by a single T1
(1.54mbits).  Things will be DOG SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW.  No more than 12 people
in the entire city will be able to get 128k throughput simultaneously.  If
you have 100 doing a file transfer at the same time, each person gets only
15.4kbps (barely faster than a 14.4 modem).
