7 commercial arrangements required to lease/own 13 channels of 6 MHz each plus 5 ITFS groups of 4 channels X 6 MHz each to reach 198 MHz of 2150-2162 MHz and 2500-2690 MHz. FON & WCOM generally lease/own 11-13 of commercial channels plus lease all ITFS but on what they don't own don't necessarily have yet 2 way data use rights. Range is 35 mile radius for initial Supercell or cardiod pattern which can be sectorized up to 12x or so today then microcells or repeaters to reach other areas within BTA rights and reach of wireless cable operators FON & WCOM bought over two years ago. CAMP antenna is 13.5" square for commercial or residential site. FON selling to both, saw three on one computer store roof over weekend. WCOM focusing on businesses. Speed being capped at 1 Mpbs downstream 786 kbps upstream though can burst higher. A newco BridgeWave Communicatins of Sunnyvale just yesterday said it will provide connector that will extend/transfer data from cable to BBFW, or vice versa I guess. In general, a lot of alliances between a lot of food chain suppliers may make sense and even get approved.
