I agree with that statement. We got a PCN from Comsearch with 255 links on
it (from Clearwire), and 18 of them were at one of our towers. Wha?!?
I talked to the tower manager, and he told me they would have to be doing
major construction in order to accommodate the build out.
In the end, they built none of them.
If Dragonwave made bank on too much of that, they would have put themselves
in major hurt. Well, I guess they did.
