Bernard, please excuse my ignorance here, but I don't see why there is all this worry about LOS, reflectors, bouncing signals off apartment building walls to the other apartments, etc.

Why isn't the network built out like WinStar does?
ie half a dozen strategically placed hub sites with LOS back to your main switch and then each hub communicating with LOS to rooftop attenaes to each building you wish to be in. And then wire the building with cable.

This seems to be a heck of a lot easier than what you guys are talking about and elimates a lot of the foliage and bouncing signal problems you guys have talked about. Seems a lot easier to talk roof top to roof top than to try and bounce signals down thru the leaves and city streets to windows.

Why the big difference between the way WinStar is building their network and the way CVUS is building theirs?
