Sector or sectorizing, is one of those buzzwords that gets invented from time to time. Alot of talk this year is about taking MMDS frequency band and moveing it from the point-multipoint one way system to a sectorized deploymnent to mazimize frequency reuse. It essentially is cellularizing it. As to the number of cells in a given area is a matter of conjecture. Sprint had talked about 8 or 9 in a given market. They have tower sights already with their PCS system. It wouldn't be much expense to stack another section on top to accomodate another array of antenna's. It would depend on the load factor of the existing structure.
