Wireless advantages over fiber, as reported by Shant Hovnanian (CEO, CVUS):

''To truly understand the differences between fiber optic and broadband wireless deployment, it is
important to compare their costs. While 90% of fiber optic deployment costs are associated with
ever increasing labor costs, the same is not true for the broadband wireless industry. In this
industry, the largest portion of costs, around 85%, can be associated with electronic components.
These costs are only incurred when a customer is added to a company's system, which means that
while we are spending money, we are expanding our customer base. Additionally, the
labor-intensive fiber optics medium also has a ''time to build'' factor which does not bring
bandwidth capacity to market fast enough. Although fiber optics have been deployed for years, it
is estimated that only 1% of buildings in the United States have fiber capacity.
