<..Something like 30 switches times four hubs per switch times 25 to 50 buildings per hub to get P-P buildings times another 15 to 20 for P-MP?..> Too late to approach this. I'll leave it to y'all to ferret out the network implications. <..15 to 20 buildings per 8000 P-P buildings is 120,000 to 160,000 buildings. Typo or math screwed up somewhere..> Nope. You are RIGHT. 15-20 times the 8000 building IS a plant of 120-160K, or 30-40 times TCGI's plant. <..Also, I thought they were only talking one OC-3 per 100 MHz channel. Also that highest P-P wireless link was only one DS-3..> As I have heard it, with P-MP, a channel delivers 155Mbps (OC3) / channel. <..If they can only get one DS-3 (or somehow one OS-3) to each P-P building, can they still get this amount to each of the 15 to 20 P-MP buildings? Do you understand how all this works? It's totally over my head...> It wouldn't seem to ME that they would, but I don't know how P-MP works. This is definitely a grey area for me as well, that I hope to get clarification on with some analysts/engineers sometime soon.
