Yes, thanks for pointing this out.

I have trouble believing that any radio technology can beat fiber for
reliability. Though that doesn't mean I think they're junk, either.

Considering the quality of some T1 systems I have seen (junque!) I don't
doubt that some radio systems would be more reliable than that link. I
still don't believe that they are, on the whole, more reliable.

However, I could be proven wrong. If you've got hard numbers from a
well-conducted study, funded by a non-biased organization, I'd be
interested in seeing them. Really, and not just to try to prove myself
right and you wrong ;)
