Re: A new option for those who can't get others
said by John Galt  :How can a consumer purchase and use a "licensed band" device...? I'm not sure what the legality of the scenario he described is, but wouldn't it be about the same as owning a cell phone? That's licensed spectrum too...

I haven't heard avg latency but I've heard latency can be as low as 50ms and even lower. They are using 802.16e at 2.5Ghz, same as Sprint.

Two pertinent questions:
A.) What's the average latency?
B.) What does one need to do (besides a rain dance) to get good reception? Will first floor windows surrounded by trees and hills be a problem?
