Yea, different market. Right now the best technology for the rural environments is probably still down the road. As the FCC chips away at White Space potential, other ideas still on the drawing board are going to become more important.

Yes, we have 300-1Gbps capable radios. But they trade that for larger channel allocations and even more signal to noise requirements. But the spectrum allocations haven’t changed enough to use these new features to their fullest in a radio dense environment. When doing cost analysis in my area last year for wireless I realized I had to forklift upgrade most of my network, and build towers out in a half mile range. This was to get the 30Mbps plan rates to really work. The costs were skyrocketing because of all the towers and sectors. I think the real winners of late are still the rural and low density wireless provider domains. They are the ones with clean enough spectrum to cost this competitively.
