Fiber is expensive. LTE (still vaporware by the way) is cable-class capacity-wise, maybe ven DOCSIS 3, and you don't have to lay new wires. For rural areas where there might be only a few, or a few dozen, houses per square mile, wireless makes sense.

I believe Verizon is thinking of doing the same thing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21968034 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 11:54:15 EDT Re: Oh come on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967387 openbox9 :

Not feasible...especially in today's economy. Properly done wireless deployments are much more economical for rural environments.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967387 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 10:00:19 EDT Re: Oh come on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967355 music4praise :

The headline said rural deployment. Can you imagine how much it would cost to run fiber in comparison? One LTE site could cover many square miles. If CenturyTel is serious, maybe folks in rural areas can finally see some decent speeds available.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967355 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:51:52 EDT Oh come on http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967125 Eat Me : What about fiber?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967125 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:57:26 EDT
