Re: Ummmm said by zduice:I am probably wrong here. But install the fiber backhaul on a Sprint owned or leased property (e.g.: middle of a city). Place a WiMax tower on that property and broadcast to all the other towers that are not fiber and/or microwave accessible and have these towers act as relays or repeaters for the service. WiMax range is 25 - 30 miles? Citywide access and burbs are still using LEC's to provide that last mile. Even with MAN's, there would be thousands of runs to each tower. Fibertower is doing the microwave bit for but obviously not fast enough. But this info leaked out like mid 1st quarter that the T1's provided by LEC's can't handle the speed. Sprint could, to save face, just step up and tell the industry they will go ahead and set everything up, using the slower path and continue to "upgrade" theses paths but can you imagane the crap Sprint would take (from media and the likes of VZW/AT&T) if they did that? At least it would truely be deployed as they said but not providing the speeds they reported.. at least not yet.  |
