Really appreciate this insight, Ajit Pai. As you mentioned, ngFWA products from companies like Tarana are pretty stellar. Even Ubiquiti's newest mmWave ptmp options are amazing (for close range). Able to offer any advice as to how a small, fully self-funded WISP can remain operational going forward? Where for years we've been delivering 50/10 (~99.99% of time never bottlenecked, have metrics to show it), with 30-50 ms latency, and pushing 100% uptime— we’re now losing to Spectrum ftth build-outs in remote spots, and not really able to compete with their “race to the bottom” prices. Especially painful if they end up getting reimbursed by BEAD funds.
