| No Backhaul, hmm i wonder why
No backhaul's to find.. That's because the Telcos that own the networks Especially (last mile) are a monopoly. Until that is fixed we are going to continue to be taken advantage of as customers. You can Thank Martin and the FCC for this. Well really you want to thank BUSH, he Appointed this idiot.

1 edit | The various cell companies are free to run their own fiber to all their cell sites if they want. Run them back to a c.o. into an interconnect space and then a fiber connection to their fiber that goes to their switch. Or run the fiber directly to their local switch. It ain't the local phone companies stopping them at all.
I might want to add that it is the cell companies that do the ordering for whatever type of circuit they want connecting their cell towers, be it a T-1(s) or fiber. |

I seriously doubt the telcos are content to sit back and not grow their revenue via next gen wireless. Considering the telcos are apparently the ones having problems with backhauls and the limited capacities of existing circuits, your argument blaming the telcos doesn't hold much water IMO. |

Hmmm...Lets see, cell phone CO doesn't know how to use a few radios to backhaul bandwidth?. You don't need copper with microwave systems. For the cost of stringing fiber or paying for a DS3 for one year, you could build a few towers, hang a few radios and you are done.
No matter how rural you are, a few hops and you are near almost any major CO that has lots of options for connectivity. We do it all the time, why can't they?. I know there are guys on their payroll a LOT smarter than I am?.

What does backhaul have to do with the residential last mile? What's being talked about here is an enterprise level service, and would never be opened up by the FCC or anyone as far as I know. |

However, you still need to get fiber to the tower.
2. Wrong. Most towers have copper for the last mile. Very few have DS3's. Most have T1's and unless the provider for the last mile has 28 T1's to form a DS3, it's not going to happen. Golden sites, maybe. Standard tower, NFW..  |
