*It must have distance limitations for various atmospheric conditions.*

If I remember correctly, the April 1998 issue of Scientific American discusses this issue ad nauseum. The conclusion was that terrestrial wireless was simple compared to satellite related systems. In other words, the time would come when these perceived problems would be solved.

LMDS originally was berated because detractors insisted that thunder cells would disrupt communications. TGNT proved them wrong over the last 12 months with successful tests in Houston and rollout of their system in ~30 locals. Apparently LU has taken wireless broadband to the next level. Concerns regarding atmospheric conditions are probably a bug of the past.
