Right, we won't beat the cable companies, but we can come close enough to take a big to us amount of their customers. If I had 10% of the market, I'd be throwing dollar bills out of my helicopter.

Comcast is doubling speeds for free in some of their markets now. I doubt WISPs will ever win over the average residential customer who is eligible for cable and knows it (unless they're leaving on principle or something like that).

A few years ago when Canopy was stuck at 14mbit FSK, I was wondering how the WISP industry would survive. Now with Canopy450 and those more cost-effective options, things are looking very competitive against DSL, and even some cable.
