What you call a total myth (CPE x basestation interopoerability) is
something that I actually tested in the field with 3.5 GHz .16e, which
is not as popular as 2.3/2.5 WiBro/Clearwire/Yota frequencies.

If Aperto has such interoperability issues, please talk only for
Aperto, not for the marketplace.
