Stephen L, Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated. I was wondering if you could elaborate further as to what you know about the legacy systems that you are referring to in your comment. From my understanding, one of the key bottlenecks to scalability if people. As most of the fiber up the riser guys also offer broadband supers to buildings/building clusters, getting technically-savvy people for both deployment and monitoring can be challenging, particularly as "Joe down in accounting has forgotten his password, and would like you to stop by..." Customer service would likely be a key differentiator as no one has exclusivity. As far as the fixed wireless guys, I have heard that for at least the near term, deployment problems are rampant. They marketed their services very well, however they are having a tougher time actually putting the stuff in and getting the service up and running. Just hearsay, but it is probably true. We haven't heard much from these guys about successes, lately. Just my opinion, and I'd like to hear more.
