How do you figure?
A single 6mhz QAM 256 channel can transmit 38Mb/s last I checked BHN was
already utilizing a 900mhz system and can upgrade to 1100mhz if needed.

It seems that they can give Verizon a run for there money if they want to.
Personlly I think they could increase their revenues by adding a 500kb/s
service at $30.00 with cable service. I would love to have 15Mb/s but most
simply wouldn't use it.
