A complex system of mirrors that beam the laser in all directions, you
just have to hold up the end of the fiber cable to pick it up. It's like
how you can pull the Cable out of the SFP and it'll still work for like
an inch. Same concept, bigger lasers. They provide safety glasses to
everyone within the coverage area anytime they go outside.

All the facts really say is that it's not as easy as they
thought. I think almost anybody who ever started an ISP found out
it wasn't as easy as they thought, and that plans don't survive
contact with reality.
Which part is BS?

I would like to know what their take rate is in percentage for a
given area(s).
That number they report is meaningless.
I bet their take in Provo is very high.
Also, it just doesn�t take a lot of employees to run fiber once
it�s installed correctly.
The layoff may not actually be indicative of anything other than
the job is done and now they maintain.
I call BS on this article.
