So, the salient points are, as I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong):
(1) Brian's numbers are 24 million currently HAVE NO ACCESS TO SERVICE. His
number DOES NOT INCLUDE the number who have access but have chosen not to
subscribe.
(2) You haven't seen the underlying data yourself because
Actually, from where I'm sitting, it seems like roll-outs have slowed
dramatically as people are waiting to see who gets government funding. I've
heard Patrick Leary say much the same thing from the radio side.
Anyone else seeing this phenomena?

Not sure if anybody else has posted about receiving funds, we just were
informed yesterday that our middle mile funding was approved. Still
waiting our our last mile application.

I think so.
24 million just seems to be such a large number when you take into account
the well known underreporting of our industry segment (and perhaps others?).
It's hard to imagine that all of our hard work thus far has left so many
homes untouched.
At a lowly 40% take rate and $20 per
Our rollouts have slowed but only because demand has dropped off.
Those that want broadband have it.

grant programs make absolutely no sense.
An example is one I just put in. There is a valley that has just 7 homes in
Yes data throughput while moving works fine. The trick is to get the

much, it cuts it down pretty good. I have seen faster speeds, but that is
the average. We are in a high interference area, so the frequency hopper on
The cable co and telco and I generally deploy where people say yeah, we'll

There IS a relationship - a weak one - between not available and don't

That was my take in the first place.And then there's the I haven't

That would seem to be rational and logical as an observation, prediction,

I need some information as to how Clear (Clearwire) is fulfilling their

The rules state the following:

The EBS band consists of 4 6mhz chunks. 5% is around 1mhz. That's easily
achievable I guess. I'm more concerned about rule #1. I can't see Clear

somewhere.

I can't wait to see what happens in...oh...6 years or so when these
school boards renegotiate the 10 year subleases of this spectrum.
Could be an interesting and lucrative time for those districts that
are getting peanuts for rent of thier spectrum.

The counties out here are apparently a lot bigger than your counties. One of
the counties we have service in (but not one of the counties I was looking at
for this grant) is 18% bigger than the State of Rhode Island.
