I am not familiar with this system in particular, but one area in my province (yes, up in Canada) had a small startup use high speed wireless when the two big ISPs refused to drag cables anywhere near the town. They did very good business and it was high speed (and better than the dial-up offered by the ISPs fer sure). Of course, after losing all their dial-up business the phone corp dragged in some ADSL lines... Oh well.
