Yes, thank you.  Openrange is the name I was trying to remember.

 

Any idea what happened with them?  I seem to remember they shut down suddenly 
and left customers without service.  I don’t remember them getting bought out.

I don't follow what happens down there in the USA much but was it Openrange?

I remember around the time JAB/Rise was taking off there was a flurry of other 
WISPs that took off and then crashed and burned rather suddenly.  I think at 
least one of them used WiMAX equipment that was somewhat popular with apartment 
dwellers because they had indoor modems.  I also seem to remember equipment 
vendors left holding the bag, and surplus equipment showing up on eBay.  I 
think one of them approached us about M&A but they were offering stock claiming 
that was better than cash because it would go up in value (yeah, right).

 

Anyone remember the names of these companies, I’m drawing a blank.  Also any 
recollection of what went wrong and lessons learned that might apply to the 
current rush to deploy broadand.
