No. It worked. They were great engineers. The technology just worked at
128mbps.
They failed because they didn;t know how to do math. They were over
confident as VC funded companies were back then, and Tower companies hosed
them on reoccurring costs, and them approving way to much for their build
out costs.

I take it that nobody has ever built a 900MHz NLOS mesh network
before. Which is not a good sign to me. That's a sign that my idea
probably won't work.....
