Maybe they've dumped that frequency long ago. - Sam ----------- On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 12:16 PM, Charles N Wyble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sam Churchill wrote: >> Skypilot has an interesting new approach; they use their 5.8 GHz >> backhaul network, not for backhaul, but to deliver to end users.
