Which is the argument many vendors use for licensing keys. IE, grow  as needed.
You might consider coordinating for 80MHZ/xpic/4096 QAM but only license the 
radio for your immediate needs, which does lower the initial cost (sometimes by 
a great deal). As you grow, drop in more keys, etc.

I don't bother anymore (although I probably should). Time is money and my time 
particularly is very expensive.

Make no mistake, I LIKE the idea of prices coming down. When I got my first SAF 
link I paid about 23K for a 2+0, 56MHZ channels and 256 QAM with 3ft antennae 
(including coordination). I was a novice buyer and got treated like one. I am 
quite a bit wiser now.

SIAE came along and cut that price (with more performance (1024 QAM)) by a 
LARGE margin.

There are other "hungry" vendors out there as well now. Can't even keep all 
their names straight. :)

I just wish Mimosa had kept a little more in line with industry standards. We 
all have to share the ecosystem.
