Their two big banner items appear to be:

	o sub $100 cpe
	o no truck roll

I'm intrigued how they achieve either at any interesting
distance from the POP. Both represent the holy-grail for
WISPs (with tree canopy penetration being a third.)

Apart from that it seems like another 802.11b wisp, potentially
with home-brew panel-antenna-cpe equipment. Not really worthy
of the NY Times, but perhaps you've got to admire their chutzpah.

Looks like XM/Sirius have called off the dogs (or at least
retired to lick their wounds) for their baseless plea to the
FCC for special treatment for their poorly designed network:
