They do seem to have some headwinds.
But shareholder micromanagement is probably worse than stodgy product managers having the reins. Developing and releasing a feature and failing to charge for it seems counter to a mad scramble to make money. Unless they are finding that almost nobody wants it, which might be the case. Even if license keys seem like 100% profit, there has to be some finite cost to sell and activate the entitlements. If the number of sales would be in the single digits, it would actually make sense to just unlock it for free as Tyson Burris suggested. I would be surprised though. If nobody wants it, wouldn’t they just kill the feature so they wouldn’t have to support it?

So the uplink modulation is poorer than downlink. The SMs have narrow beams but the AP sees 90 degrees. The other case where we get uplink problems is in 3 GHz when Verizon lights up CBRS on a celltower, but we can (mostly) solve that by matching LTE timing.
