Mark - thanks for the info. It sounds like CMTO's IR dept. could learn a thing or two from TERN's.
The warrants serve as an incentive to the operators to purchase TERN's modem over CMTO's if all other factors were considered to be equal. This is a clever marketing scheme where an operators ownership of a vendor's stock can't help but give them a vested interest in it's long term success.

A technical question:
Setting aside the advantages that spread-spectrum gives regarding immunity from narrow band interferors, does Tern's S-CDMA provide for transmit power level control like the cell-phone CDMA?
I believe this is what gives CDMA a significantly higher user capacity where within a cell, the base station controls user transmit levels, therefore seeing similar levels from the guy on the edge of the cell as from the guy right under the tower.
Does this advantage translate into the cable domain where the propagation loss from a guy 10 miles down the cable is leveled with the guy next door to increase user capacity? Or do the distribution amplifiers serve to keep the dynamic range effectively centered?
