Yea . . . welcome to the world of wireless broadband! You are
correct, it's a very confusing landscape. If you only recently
started lurking here and/or on other similar lists, that's the best
thing you can do.
Until I absorbed the material from the lists for a year or so I was
baffled. That was about 8 years ago now. Hard to believe!
The short answer is that there is no short answer. Every scenario is
different and there are no simple answers to sweeping
questions. It's a VERY complex fabric and it will take time before
you even get familiar with all the acronyms let alone the technology.

potential investors.
Unless you have a large pile of cash at your disposal, I'd suggest
you start a tiny pilot project at the very least. That way you can
gain some familiarity with it all before you sign the dotted line.
My 2 cents. For tower info, I can help a little: www.do-it-yourself-tower.com.

Also, what should we be paying for backhaul? I've
seen reports that say it should cost us $10/Mb. Is that synchronous? Our
backhaul provider is planning on charging us roughly 60x this
- synchronous. How can we know if we are getting a good rate? This is a
hilly area - foothills of Appalachia. How can we know what is the best
equipment or system to go with. We have so many questions, yet it seems so
few places to get answers. It appears that this is a profitable industry -
one we want to get into. However, we are just not sure at this point. If
any of you are operating systems in rural, hilly areas, we'd love to talk
with you.
Sorry for the "all over the board" post, but we're under the gun to get
going and we just have so many questions.
Kind Regards,
Dave
