I’m not clear on the (uplink/upstream , ie internet) bandwidth costs. Who provides/pays for that monthly bill?

Surely if you buy a 20 K pop that doesn’t include upstream bandwidth for life (ie for your pops customers to use).

I spent about 25 minutes reading every page of the website but didn’t see this part mentioned, apologies if I in fact missed it.

Thanks, interesting project!

From what I've read, the PoP franchisee revenue is based on a 70/30 split of subscriber revenue generated by that PoP (with a guaranteed minimum monthly return). The idea is the PoP will serve 1000s of monthly customers and part of Wifi Dabba's take from that income is what is paying for the upstream/backhaul.
