Well the one I am talking about could be the backhaul for a Wi-Fi 
metro-spot if that is what they call it. One friend wants to use it to 
backhaul from APs on 600 buildings in Manhattan so I think my point is 
on target. I am not arguing that Wi-Fi by itself can supplant cable and 
satellite. But wireless can.
