Because there is no reason to buy a license for a link that is getting deployed to a customer pre-existing site for 6 months, until they move to their new office location. Because I was able to install the order within 24hours of the day the order was placed from inventory, and gained an extra month of revenue ($2000) from the customer that I wouldn't have had if I waited for a Freq Cord, and the manufacturer's 20-30 day lead time to get me gear.
However, with that said.... From my experience, CTI's lead time on Freq Coords had been amazingly fast, and CTI sure did make it easy buying 23Ghz. I think most people will choose 23Ghz, most of the time, when there is time to do it, without financial trade off. Most broadband customers will sign an order, prior to the min 1 month cancellation notice they need to give their old broadband provider, where revenue for the new provider won't come in until 30 days out any ways, so there is usually time to plan. It all depends on the situation. But in this case... 24Ghz UL put $4000 extra dollars in my pocket.
