signatureDoes this lead to a “tragedy of the commons” scenario, where too many people try to graze their sheep on the commons?
What happens to these 802.11ac systems when the cableco and telco deploy “carrier WiFi”, using customer routers as public hotspots, and deploying strand mounted WiFi? Plus the Internet of Things. I really don’t see myself signing a 2 year contract on such a service, even if it works well initially. We all know how difficult it is to operate a commercial service using license exempt spectrum that is not for our exclusive use. At first you’re the only ant on the dead caterpillar, but soon there are ants swarming all over it.

Yes they do expect to pass up Jab. Big $$,$$$,$$$ going into it. Not a standard PTMP platform. More of a mesh(?) with AC, beamforming, mu-mimo, 28GHz (?) backhaul links, and more custom stuff. They backhaul to a neighborhood "hub" home and create small cells. I'm not sure if there is fiber to every tower, but "towers" feed "hubs" which feed homes, so it's a couple levels removed from fiber to the home. (Don't tell the marketing guys!) They used to show an indoor CPE on their site, but I don't think that worked out.
