[RFI] alternative to PLC

[Michael Tope]

Ooops, I am forgetting how to do math. With 40 mile coverage
radius and a 20K sub breakeven point, an MMDS based high-
speed internet system would be viable with a subscriber density
of around 4 subs/sq mile, not 40. My apologies.

> Yeah, but infrastructure is still required.  In some cases, the power
company has to run fiber to the neighborhood. In others, they use the MV
lines, but have to put digital repeaters about every 2000 feet on the line.
In others, they use 802.11 to get to the house.
