Hi I'm sure their deployment is indeed population driven. You will still likely be fine over parts of Alaska and Montana. Over the high density traffic areas on the coasts - unlikely.

By the same logic, all of the office space in New York could not fit in New York. But it does because they stack it 20 or 100 floors one on top of the other. I suspect the areas will overlap with very dense coverage in urban areas. Perhaps in some places there is 50 or 100 channels of coverage and in others one or even zero. -- ===== Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
