Prior to rollout, various pundits were commenting that they would have to have base stations on nearly every street lamp. That certainly precludes any kind of service in our area because we don't have any street lamps for many miles. bp On 2/8/2022

I haven't used it, but here in Chicago, Verizon has billboards advertising their UltraWideband (so is that the mm wave?) service that's now active along the lake front between 2 neighborhoods. So they advertize how fast it is, that doesn't change your data cap? So you can just use all your

I remain unconvinced that you can use the mm waves on a handheld device unless you are looking at the tower 100’ away. They don’t penetrate walls. I am guessing they are really only useful for PTP and probably for business customers. From: Jaime Solorza Sent: Tuesday, February 8, 2022

You can try Manifold viewer for free (https://manifold.net/viewer.shtml) . It's the same full featured program as the paid version, you just can't save or export any files. It is specifically coded to run as a multi-processor multi GPU (NVIDIA Only) video core product, so the speed is noticeable.

Cameron, I'm curious how you feel manifold compares to mapinfo. I use mapinfo to do our fiber plans, mainly just drawing lines/points/text on aerial photo and parcel data layers and exporting to PDF via layout one sheet at a time. It's slow and cumbersome, but it's paid for and I know it. Would
