You pay more per customer than an Alvarion user Matt since all your customers are on dedicated PtP shots though, right?

I don't really think the price of the radio correlates to the revenue of the service. -Matt Tom DeReggi wrote: > As much as I've protested Canopy, (in my mind poor design), the > smaller the gaps are getting. > The problem is that Trango kept degrading their gear more and more > like Canopy.
