I just saw this...beat me to it by 3 minutes I see.

How common are these things for residential use, lm? I live in a fairly populated area, so doubt it'd have much use here (too many LOS issues)

I live out in the woods, so my situation is a little different than most. For residential use, it's probably cheaper and faster to just get cable or something. Also, the up front cost is pretty high, especially if you're putting in a tower to get LOS.

That said, a couple of friends of mine in Seattle are setting up a microwave link from a datacenter to their house.
