Matt,
If you live in a remote area, with no potential interferers, then my comment
does not apply.
But last I heard you were deploying in the middle of Urban Atlanta and
possibly Urban DC, with the potential for many interferers eventually.

And when your competitors is unsensitive to the fact that you are greedy,
he combats your spectrum/radio, and you or he has no where to go
(spectrum wise) for a resolution, he will win because he doesn;t have
customers yet, and you do, so you will move to protect your revenue.
Basically by using the full band, you are guaranteeing that anyone that
deploys has no choice but to fight you for spectrum, meaning any channel
they choose will interfere with you. Sure you can go narrow beam
antenna, but its jsut a matter of time until someone bangs into you.
The above confuses me. In the situation where I have a PtP radio using the
full band there is no colocation opportunity for a competitor on either
side. That means the competitor would have be on a site near by to be
affected by me and/or to affect me. If this hypothetical competitor
doesn't have any customers then the deployment must be PtMP base station
since a PtP wouldn't be very useful without a customer. Certainly the
power output from a PtMP base station is going to be considerably less
than my PtP link making it unlikely my equipment would be affected.
Further, equipment that uses large channel widths tend to run simple
modulations that have very good receive sensitivity.
The question that one asks is WHY? If you ahve an option that doesn't
take the whole band, why would you choose one that does? Those decissions
don't usually make friends, and non-friends tend to interfere.
When you put the question that way, sure, it seems silly. However, that
assumes there is another option, which isn't necessarily the case. In
fact, reading this thread so far seems to indicate that the available high
throughput unlicensed radios have large channel widths.
