I ran into something vaguely similar in frustration level in two nearby towns. Both of them start with declaring that the city has sufficient competitive communications infrastructure and that the purpose of the regulations are to prevent further "unsightly development". It defines anything wi

Then could someone explain how this works out in real life? The problem I have here, is that it appears that if we deploy some 3 or 5 mhz channels, we're going to be severely hampered EIRP-wise, from reaching any distance at all. Now, the UBNT XR3's are certified for a 5, 10, and 20 mzh channel

usage based means tiers of prices... No matter what you tell people or how you warn them, if your bill this month is $100 and last month it was $25, they WILL BE ANGRY. Further, automating systems to bill per gig is kind of a pain. The answer, then, I guess is... convenience. +

I use them occaisionally and find they work "ok". I once ran a box on them that ran them close to full power, and it fried them within 2 weeks. I went through two of them rapid fire before I found a different solution. Other than that, they've been good for me. +

Jack, how are we supposed to know? The only way to find anything approaching an average is to get those 500 responses and average them. And t hen you still gotta define what a WISP is. Is it the guy who covers an area the size of two city blocks and has backhauled in DSL from 3 miles away?

Marlon, my friend, that is the wrong viewpoint. This is the RIGHT one... "Imagine the sales I could make if the taxpayers weren't subsidizing CenturyTel." The secret is not to become dependent upon subsidy... The best is to take it from those who have built an entire industry of exploiting it

My experience is that you'll get around 500 feet of solid foliage. If you're trying to go 5 miles, you have to get the antennas WAY up in the air, or you get serious Fresnel zone losses. This means that 900 mhz is actually somewhat limited to smaller cells than you'd think otherwise. Yes, I'v
