LMDS, a technology ahead of its time...

The LMDS spectrum (28-31GHz in the US) was widely discredited as an asset after the broadband wireless crash at the turn of the century, but in recent years there has been a significant revival of interest in this band - no longer for wireless consumer access, where it failed at the turn of the century, but for backhaul and point-to-point links.

the LMDS band around 28GHz to 31GHz - the focus of an early broadband wireless access bubble around the turn of the century. This led to a wave of bankruptcies, and the discrediting of LMDS as an access band, but it has been gaining new value as a backhaul option with its high capacity, line of sight characteristics.
"We were five or six years too early for the marketplace," Rapaport commented. He plans to sell the spectrum as a single nationwide bundle rather than market-by-market.
