[WISPA] Dumb question?

We have this ?great? MAC used for WIMAX in various frequencies. Why can't we (or some vendor) use this MAC in 2.4/900? It just makes sense I would think. There must be a reason... please clue me in with the clue-by-four. ryan ---

Matt, Geocoding is never an exact science nor can it possibly be as accurate as the actual obtained coordinates for a client. Geocoding first relies on the accuracy of the Census Tiger line mapping databases. All mapping companies use this as a base and then do various levels of data check

Exactly why Public Safety and Municipalities don't need "Fiber like speed" broadband. The more capacity they have, the more creative they can get. Next thing you know, in real time, every time you pass a traffic light, they'll also be checking instant verification on Did you pay your taxes?
