Ask them what is going to happen when someone "DIG's" in and that Fiber is cut. How long to take to repair it? It's not as simple as as soldering two points together. How long are those customers going to be down? It happens all the time. What if the city decides to put in a Subway where that fiber is? They would have to redo EVERYTHING! There are always lots of IF's that Wireless can overcome at the moment and IF the FCC will give us some spectrum to use! Think Cell, the cell carriers paid out the wing-yang for a little bit, tell them what an entrepreneur can do with alot!
BYW, Wireless bypasses almost all these problems.
