One of those companies got some nice spectrum, licensed.  2.1GHz I think.

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.
