No more checks to LEC's. Which is important to a company who does not have direct last mile connectivity to their dedicated data customers. This technology can deliver what MMDS promised to provide broadband speeds with high reliability.</p> One thing to remember is that Sprint can use this technology to save lots of money in operational expenses.
