i think there is more to it. the safety of our installers...who put the tower
up....if the tower is 50 years old and in bad shape....i think we have even
dropped pole installs due to their complexity. we have to support what is put
up too and it can be time consuming. i guess we can discuss all of this over
dinner next week :)

So you disagree when your own high number of rejections show you should be
doing it?
The advantage is that it's the customer paying for the height that they need
to get service, not you (mostly).

i disagree. we're over 600 customers now. very few have towers. but we
have a lot of rejections too due to weak signals. talk to other wisp companies
at wispa - the solution is more towers. well, too many towers and that gets
expensive...

Eh? When you are in a highly-treed area, you need to do towers or be quick
to send customers to a company that does. There's no other easy way to get NLOS.

well, we don't do towers by default. in fact, i think we've had six
customers or so who ever wanted towers and usually we told them to put their
own up. I'm not sure to be honest, probably need to pull some work orders and
find out why. I mean, some of those are in very close proximity!

That's a quite high percentage of failures. Why? Trees and those
customers didn't want to pay you to put up a residential tower?

and this is REALLY annoying. Two water tanks, very close. i think 3
miles apart.
green dots = installation successes
yellow dots = FAILURES

You can offer it right now in 2.4, 3.65 or 5.8, the customers just
need to pay the money for it and to cut trees and/or buy a big tower. A few
people are, the hard part is finding them...

me thinks if the FCC gave me 100 mhz from, oh, i don't know, 600 to
700 mhz, i could offer 25/3. Easily.
Give me what I want FCC!

How many WISPs out there offer 25x3? What do you charge for it?
Are there bandwidth limits or is it unlimited? I'm trying to understand how we
could reliably provide this service without putting 5-10 customers per AP.
