- Do you need internet access? Does it need to be high speed?
- Will you have outside sales people, or technicians? Should they have cell phones?
- Have you checked on the quality of the local carrier for your voice and data traffic?
- Is it more important to save a few dollars a month or have guaranteed quality service?
- How much capital do you have to invest in communications? Should you look into a lease so that the expense becomes part of the operational budget?
