Peter: I would appreciate your take on Rooftop. We had a conference call with Ryan at Rooftop yesterday which was very good but left a lot of questions. Mesh technology can be very confusing. For example how would it work with a sectored antenna from the head-end or ISP? How would overlapping networks work? How robust is spread spectrum in an urban environment? Can you string out customers infinitely? What is the constraint? Could a daisy chain go 100 miles? I looked at the VDMA site that was introduced here and ran into Rooftop at the same time. Is it the same or similar? The World Wide Wireless (VDMA) site seemed to be talking about a mobile cellular phone system and at the same time a fixed wireless ISP high-bandwidth solution. I was very confused.
