[comp.dcom.telecom] Can $4,000/mo cross country T1 be for real?

Someone has offered a satellite T1 (I still have to buy
the local loop) to or from any combination of New York,
Miami, Los Angeles, and San Francisco for about $4,000
per month.  They are also planning to offer Houston,
Dallas, Chicago and Detroit.

I'm giving serious consideration to using these links in
a couple of networking and supercomputing proposals.

I've never heard of these guys (I won't post the name
because I don't want to be advertising for them, but I'll
provide the name on individual request).

Can someone really do this?  AT&T is asking $30,000/month
for a T1 from NY to LA.
