Nice. Our 200+ unit condo building in Portland just got gigabit internet via line of sight radio on the roof from another building with fiber.

This is a trend that will definitely take off and removes the huge barriers of entry that laying cable requires. 1ms latency too.

I understand you must be in USA, but I'm from Canada, and this trend is certainly very popular in most parts of Ontario. In the USA it's also catching on, have a look at Webpass. The Canadian equivalent would be Cloudwifi who offers gigabit service most condos and apartments built after 2005. http://cloudwifi.ca

Oh, on average these next generation networks have much lower latency than traditional cable and DSL lines.

I've got to know more about this. Who set it up? Local start up? Bored engineers?

Wave G. I think its a spin off a small isp.
