Re: Starting up a WiMAX ISP

Of course what they offer over those "long long rural runs" and what they can actually provide are two different things. DSL performance decreases with distance rather dramatically..
That's what I thought, but my friend out on the sheep farm in the next county says he gets 3Mb just like I do in the village three blocks from the CO. (Yes, he knows what he's talking about.) They must spend a lot on repeaters and concentrators.

R's,
John
