Tow it alongside? I'd cut the line and let it sink, except for the fact that
crap floats.

The trials were very successful, and MTT was able to extend the distance a
considerable amount. We were expecting the repeaters to roll out last year,
and Aliant killed the project for now. Most likely in preperation for this.
There is no longer any reason why you can't get M-Powered past the 5-7 km
barrier. 7 km is the maximum you can expect without a repeater, and even 7
is a touch too long. Typically MTT was quoting 3-5 km, but you can go as far
as 7. The speed suffers though.
