Does anyone know how many customers they actually have? It's odd that they keep referring to thousands of customers, but never put out any actual numbers. By comparison, CDPD has less than 20K customers nationwide and that too with GTE, Bell Atlantic, Ameritech, AT&T, SBC, and a few other small players pushing the technology and products in a big way. Another thing I am skeptical about is that they claim to be able to light up a market with their cell sites for around $5-7 million each. Given the fact that they have to deal with local governments and companies, I'd think it would cost more the get mafia clearance itself than the $5-7 million they spend - unless Paul Allen has offered to help them out there!!! Anyone has any thoughts on this one?
