In the rush of things, I also did not mention the fact that data speeds decrease with distance, power, and number of users. This is why the speeds achieved by RoamAD are nice but not hugely impressive.

In order to consistently achieve decent speeds throughout the network--1 mbps or thereabouts--the expense is going to go through the roof.

Mq, you weren't out by a factor of 10. You should be more careful with your arithmetic... But the RoamAD business model looks good even without the factor of 10.

In a few years, when everyone has WiFi built into their gadgets, the 2.3GHz bands will be buzzing.
