A note about smaller cells... There are two types of WISPS out there, those who try to service every customer from one giant tower, (typical distance between 2-10 miles) and the other type that trys to put internet on every grain leg in existence with small cells maybe 2-3 miles apart. I happen to have done the later which looks like will end up benefiting me after many years because i already have the infrastructure setup for it. I could basically setup an A5 omni on every grainleg i am on and offer 75+% of my customer base 100 meg packages. I can see this killing off my competition that is struggling to give 1mbps packages on their GIANT tower. I could also use the A5 for micro repeater sites on other customers TV towers to hit that other 25% of the customers that don't have LOS to the grainlegs.
I am thinking about coming up with a special contract for the 100meg packages that basically gives me rights to the customer roof or tower on every customer that wants to signup for the 100 meg package so that i can put the micro repeater up when i need to later down the road. This may be a good way to get existing customers to sign new contract, if you want the new "wireless fiber" speeds you have to go under a new contract.
