They should have thrown in Terrestrial Microwave
That worked really well for us in terms of explaining the difference between satellite and a WISP. Might as well told them the specific frequency they were on and the how the s/n affects their CCQ%.

Only 1 of which people understand. It’s - large - digital - fixed - broadband - wireless OK, all Americans understand “large”. The others, not so much, although that won’t stop them from having opinions.

My hands have 10 digits....So I think I could call them digital. If I use them to hold a hammer, then I have a digital hammer. I would be so awesome at marketing.

A lot of people on this and other lists talk about JAB like they are some kind of massive, rolling behemoth with a gazillion subscribers and trillions in the bank. The kind of place that has it's own militarized security forces, Ferrari's for interns, crispy creme every morning, and hands out Sam Adams during lunch. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but anyway... To put things in perspective, if you were to talk to anybody who works at an actually large ISP or Carrier for that matter, "JAB is tiny". JAB is literally the size, speaking purely by number of customers, that many ISPs have in a few mile radius. I understand that they cover a fairly large area, and that some manufacturers in our industry will even " bend the knee " to get their business... And maybe rightfully so... But yeah, 250,000-350,000 sub's to many ISPs is a tiny drop in the bucket.
