From what I remember, regarding how WCII deploys its point to point bandwidth...A single antenna has a minimum of 4 T-1 capacity, so even if they only sell one customer in a building needing one T1, the dish can handle more, which is why it is cost effective (given roof rights) to continue selling in that building. Bandwidth can be increased remotely thru a software download to the antenna. They now also have the ability (I believe) to sell Ds1 and Ds3 for higher bandwidth-demanding customers. Given that 38GHz only requires 2 degrees of separation between links, they can put multiples of 4T1's, DS1's (and maybe even DS3's) on the same mini-tower on a building.
