I'm saying that those towers could be used just like Williams used their pipeline rights of way to run fiber and form a nationwide network.

I'm not necessarily thinking nationwide here, but the problem of getting Internet to remote areas is a problem.

Read this P/R

"Satellite held out the hope of broadband Internet for the large parts of Britain unlikely to get cable or DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) services."

"British Telecommunications Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BT.L) plans to offer DSL, which converts ordinary telephone lines into fast Internet connections, to no more than 75 percent of the population by 2002."

At 40Gbps free space wireless, new possibilities open up!

Sectors idea could also apply to Utility transmission towers. Me thinks that the OPXS solution is not EMI sensitive hence there should not be a problem with interference.

Dont know if the RF backup would be affected.

Many Public Utilities are looking at Best technical case scenarios to expand into telecom / broadband markets.

OPXS may in fact be made to order.
