We're in Carroll and Grayson Counties in SW VA. I just can't see a business case for investing in licensed wireless for 21k houses in 900 sq miles.

From what I've read, FCC auctions go for millions per license. way out of reach for us. Yes; PTMP frequencies can be expensive at auction. A lot depends on the geographic area where you want to deploy. Sometimes you can lease frequencies. Others on this list can give you more specific information. I understand that there are some shared frequencies that are available for PTP links (6,11,18,22,whatever), but are these any good for PTMP? No. Mostly, I'm trying to get the information I need to get my bosses to lay off the idea of using licensed frequencies for the last mile. Where are you located?

With licensed PTP systems running into thousands of dollars, I'm not sure I want to see the price tag of a PTMP system, but I have to do as the bosses say. Any help out there?
