Peter- Here's some BBFW commercial building stats I thought may interest you. I found them while searching for something else. Message 15034349 If you click on the who wrote link at the above post, you'll find another stat about commercial buildings. Now I'm wondering what percentage of the 30,000 fixed wireless customers FON has today is commercial? It would seem to have to be a small number. But who knows if my stats are anywhere near accurate. -MikeM(From Florida)
