| Too bad I live in Tempe. I tried Kite for a month (a year ago). It worked ok using a directional antenna and their wireless modem (with higher power than a normal device). But, whenever there was wind it was unusable.
I didn't have line-of-sight to the access point on the light pole 90 yards away. I suspect my signal was based on reflections. When the wind blew, it caused the reflections to move (trees moving, etc.).
Their customer support was good. I always got someone quickly. They refunded all my money when I canceled and returned the device. They didn't even charge me for the month.
I didn't realize Kite sold it to someone else since then. It doesn't surprise me they want out. I don't think anyone in my neighborhood is using it. I don't see how they can make it successful without putting an AP on every lightpole and/or offering exterior installation services using directional antennas.
