[BBLISA] WiMAX ISP Service Experiences

[Richard "Doc" Kinne]

Folks:

I'm in the midst of researching the possibilities open to us on  
upgrading our T1 service to (probably) a fractional T3. One of the  
possibilities I'm looking into is WiMAX technology as implemented by  
Towerstream ( http://www.towerstream.com/ ).

My director is very skeptical. I am less skeptical, but would like  
something to back it up. WiMAX technology is not new and its been  
successfully deployed in a number of areas I know.

Is anyone here in the area using WiMAX and specifically Towerstream  
(or have used it)?  If so I would be very grateful if you could relate  
your experiences, both good and bad. If you wish, please email me  
privately at the address below. I have no wish to have anyone  
badmouthed on the list!

Any comments emailed to me will be kept between myself, my IT co- 
worker, and my Director.

Thanks, folks!
