John,

Your insight hit the nail on the head. Unfortuntately, the current dominent 
manufacturers in 80G don't get it yet.
The year after at IWPC, there was one manufacturer, Huber+Suhner, that 
appeared to get it. They discovered a super low cost method to make 60-80Ghz 
antennas, taht could be made for pennies. Its just a matter of time before 
the industry comes up with a radio for us. I'm pretty sure it was them that 
demoed a 60-80Ghz radio delivering around 300mbps targeting a probable 
$2000k price points. These type companies are still looking for the business 
cases to support it, but I think it will happen.
