Innovation in mmwave is happening rapidly right now. The prices will continue to come down this year.
Yes, I'd say micropops but I'm not sure that completely does it justice. There's several different architectures that are being deployed now. No you can't go through trees at least not reliably. You can go around them... Or you can combine with other bands and load as much on 60ghz and rest on sub 6ghz that are a challenge. The can you lay fiber cheaper? I'd say no from the projects we've done so far. One city, for example, was ~$5M to build out with 100% fiber; $400k to pass all those same homes with 60ghz. 3 months vs. years. Is 60ghz the answer for everything? Nope. :-) Hal P.S. I have a bias towards 60ghz (IgniteNet).
