have network cabling run to each unit, however, I haven't been able to
verify that yet.

expensive because of the need to purchase routers or cable modems for each
unit. Monthly costs also start to mount when you start looking at 100 to
150 subscribers per building. In other words, they don't scale well.

tenents. There would also need to be a firewall and probably a small
ethernet switch on each floor. Basically, we would need someone local to
the area that could physically setup and install the network.
