"Would you share with me your views on two issues?

"One. Is there a reason why one would prefer a company like Aetherwire to what seems to my unscientific eye a similar company like Vista Broad Band.
(I have no present economic interest) "

Your "prefer" makes it sound like I read some prospectuses, picked up my phone, called my broker, and put some money into one of the companies. Extremely early venture capital doesn't work this way. How it _does_ work has been outlined in dozens of articles.

I had known the founders for several years. The company was close enough that I could visit. And so on.

"Two. What is the legal "moat" that protects the technology? Is the protected tech in what I call the "repeater"? Is Vista BB merely a Mot reseller? Is Mot itself better protected? "

I have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about.

"Or is this truly, open source? :)"

Huh? We are speaking two different languages, it seems.
