We actually have a lot of the old gigabeam radios in service, they are faster than the published specs of the airfiber links (1G full duplex vs 750 mbit/sec fd) and lower latency due to their very simplistic design. To be honest, from a network engineering standpoint, the gigabeams were

They are taking pre-orders now for a (hopefully) June delivery. I'm at a conference now and got the rundown yesterday from Ubiquiti. This product was designed completely from the ground up by the former Motorola Canopy 100 team. It -should- deliver ~700mbit in both directions @ full duplex.

Respectfully, the claim isn't a decline in the cost of backhaul bandwidth between 10 and 100 times, the claim is Operators will be able to get 10 to 100 times more data throughput for the same dollar. which granted is a very good thing, but it does not imply how much more money one would have
