How many clients can one AP Tower handle?

I haven't found this on any of their SIG websites.

I'm for penetrating the rural market and all, but I hope they don't waste time moving in regions where lone service providers have raped the subscriber base. Let's further the competition and get some REAL price wars on our hands.

broaden the competition

Yeah, taht's the ticket. How do you suppose WE little people make a mark in the WI-FI world and compete with the corporate giants (who woud just as soon squish us like tiny little bugs under their pesky giant toes), before let us cut into their piece of the pie. In theory I guess a 1/2 million of us could form our own corporation a being the major shareholders of our on tiny operation, make something happen..YES! that's IT will will be the Southwest Air of the IT world.

Paulie'sworld, I think that's how Verizon started. Several independent cellphone providers banded together to form the company. However, do you see them a competition boost? No, they all price gouge for services. I would love to have some WiMax equipment to network with my family member's houses miles away.
