       OK, I'll take my 101.  Is the switch a fixed cost imput?  If so, 
  what is the cost of using the switch when it is below capacity?  
  
        What would be really helpful would be some data or estimates of the 
  buildout for residential consumers....   Is it 7:1 ?????  That is, how 
  many person can be connected at one time?
