No, nothing particular to Vivint. I think they were just sick of it at the time.

The backhauls appear to be the unlicensed SAF 20+GHZ stuff to nearby drops. Most of those in Saratoga Springs are connected to CentraCom Fiber at the schools etc. And they are doing 50Mbps for $50 or $60 depending on who you talk to. So maybe they outperform DirectCom now, but when you guys get more fiber and for a better price they will switch. We took over quite a few in some neighborhoods already.

I saw one going in today. Fed with a backhaul with a 2 foot dish. Couldn’t get close enough to see if it was licensed or not. The AP antennas look like little whips. At roof top. In a very heavy tree’d neighborhood. With trees taller than the houses. With a bunch of other WISPs in the area... And I just rolled fiber down that street. Wonder who will win in the end?
