Well here's my thoughts. I'm currently using ePMP. It does pretty
well, but there's little to know nLOS functionality. 2400 MHz with
ePMP gets scarred by even a few trees. There are a lot of homes
(maybe 20%) that we could hook up if we could burn through some trees.
20% more customers/revenue doesn't justify the expense of Telrad -
this is with the assumption that Telrad would be able to burn through
the trees at 3650. Huge waste in capex if we don't get those extra
customers unless we can really upsell customer's on higher bandwidth
rates (I expect this to be minimal).
If Baicells can offer the same (assumed) nLOS capability at a lower
cost and I can hook up 20% more customers, the numbers could certainly
work. More people are happy we can give them service and Imagine is
happier to have the greater revenue (and a safe bet of higher ARPU).
