I work at a fairly large WISP and we have 10 Gbps wireless point to point backhauls. We also provide customers 1000/1000 Mbps fiber like wireless point to point WAN connections.

Sounds great. I'm trapped in an apt building with Comcast as the only broadband option. As soon as there's a reasonable point-to-point wireless that I can put in my 10th story window, I'm in.
Don't these wireless signals eventually go to cables? Can you imagine if everyone in your building had point-to-point connections? How many dish antennas is that? I hope more municipalities pursue their own fiber in the future.
Webpass (in SF) does a PTP wireless link on the top of each building, then ethernet to each unit from there, ~500+mbps for 30-40/m (paid yearly)
Come to Ellsworth, Maine, and I will give you money. We pay insane money for very little.
