Exactly why we need 1) Less spectrum to go to auctions, and more spectrum to go to unlicenced.
2) High power allowed in spectrum bands. 3) Manufacturters to raise their standard, to take advantage of latest radio and antenna technologies. Let me give you an example of what I mean...... Moto old product, 20Mhz, 14mb real (20mb) Moto new product (ofdm), 10Mhz 20mbps (35mb) in a lab, with noise maybe 10-15mbps (qam16). Why didn't they make a 20Mhz OFDM product, so that we could offer faster speeds, with their new product? Why didn;t they make a MIMO OFDM product, so we could use faster speeds, with their new products? Why didn;t they make a multiple diversity smart antenna model? Why haven't they made smart MIMO gear with modes above 16, such as to allow chain0 and chain1 to operate at different modulations? I'm not meaning to pick on Moto, they are a good company, I'm just using them as an easy example everyone could identify with. I know the answer why. Because they want to sell more radios, and not compete with their other product lines, not make us more efficent and competitive, so we need to buy fewer radios. My point is... the technology is out there. Whether manufacturers embrace it quick enough is another story. The demand is clearly there. If anything LTE is clearly creating harder competition for the private WISP industry. I dont think we'll ever get the signal into everyone's living room without antennas... Only licensed can operate at such a low sensitivity, because of low noise. (except for Whitespace users). But we surely could do better, if the technology was stepped up a couple notches.
