Summary
San Marcos is a rapidly growing college town located in the middle of the Austin-San Antonio Corridor. The city is growing not only because of its location, but also because Texas State University is growing. The school's enrollment has been steadily increasing for several years and is now up to nearly 28,000 students. With a 76.3% retention rate of freshmen to sophomores, there are more students living off campus who are going to require an internet connection. The city itself has a population of around 35,000, which means that there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 60,000 people in the San Marcos area. This area of the country is also at the forefront of techonolgical advancement; so the population will require fast and convenient internet services.

Also, the existing networks in San Marcos must be analyzed to find any relation to variables such as population density and income.
Scope
The scope of this project is within the city limits of San Marcos, Texas.
