All the ILECs I know are focused on FTTH, not wireless.

While you may not care too much for this, but the CLEC's business / Wireline business were decimated under then Republican FCC ...(WISP's were spared and actually picked up business from that carnage). At that time the larger ILEC's were focused on wire-line business... Some of you feel the pinch of this when you go looking for Fat Pipes for your Backhaul and get shafted by the only option available to you... That is not a random coincidence... Yes, I am simplifying this.....a lot happen when WISP's were 'sleeping'... Now, I cringe, to see what happens in the coming years, especially since the ILEC's have decided to focus on Wireless, in favor of the wire line... If I was to describe what happened in the wireline world, it would be like... The Republicans shot the small business isp/nsp/clec's in the back, and the Democrats double nailed the coffins so that there was pretty much no chance of possible revival. Non-the less life goes on.. Regards.
