they can't un-cap the existing SM's because that wouldn't be fair to the people that paid for the upgrade keys.... it is going to be really interesting to see how they price the new 180/200 style 450 radio. If they make it too cheap then why would anyone buy the old style SM's anymore? A 450 5Ghz un-capped SM WISP price is $359.20. Personally in my opinion it needs to be about $300'ish, but that will put it cheaper than the existing un-capped 450. And $400.00 is too much because that's approaching 450i pricing which is much more rugged hardware. Sounds like they may have to lower the price of the existing product line, (un-likely). That would be a problem because there are a lot of WISPS with contract pricing for future SM purchases that will be pissed if the new SM is cheaper than what the already committed to. I really don't know, sounds like someone is going to have to make some hard decisions on how they price this stuff.
