At my little station group, we will shortly be using our own digital 
microwave network to carry programming to main transmitters and 
boosters. No AT&T. No Verizon. No crappy Moseley toy UHF gear or lame 
digital STLs. We're talking the real thing: 300Mbps, bi-directional 
(symmetrical, of course), IP and native TDM, and it is all ours. No 
monthly charges, on licensed bands that are far better coordinated than 
any Part 74 nonsense. 

I'm not at all sorry to kiss all those ancient means goodbye. The 
equipment is already in place and the licenses granted. We're just 
taking care of last minute details regarding our new LAN.
