Re: 100 million POPs?

Yes he is correct, its where the company has equipment to connect to the internet, and that's mostly where you start off with your network. Like if I was running a network at a school, the pop would be where I connect to my fiber provider for the internet.

POPs refers to population covered in the wireless industry - not "Point of Presence" in the typical ISP sense.

run a Howardforums search, and you'll see that POPs refers not to access points but persons covered by (but not necessarily subscribiding to) a cellular service.
