Good question.... I can tell you Form477 did not report that high, but Form 477 data was still compelling. We had more lines than T1s did. I think it was around 700,000 by FCC data. But dont hold me to that, I'm going on memory.
We also made our own best guess estimate. At one point, Patrick Leary did a FCC presentation, where Distributors were asked how many CPE's they sold, and back then I think from that calculation it was about $1mil or so. At one point we counted total WISP, estimated average number of subs per WISP, and did the math. Not sure method used to estimate. As well there was the Pew Report, suggesting 8% wireless take rate. Where as GAO was estimating closer to < 2% market share. But to answer your question.... I do not remember the exact method that was used to calculate it, or who calcualted it, but its what the WISPA FCC filings have been stating, so it must be true :-) Tom DeReggi RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband ----- Original Message ----- From: "David E.
