Those guys have been knocking around a load of areas in Ireland - 12 Pilot sites have been selected. Google Wuhan Vstar and most of the stories are from various parts of the country in February where they visited.

There was some discussion here about what type of tech they may be using.

You can't change physics.

Decent Wireless Broadband need expensive to install outdoor aerials (compared to posting a dongle) and a lot of spectrum. If it's to be fast or more than a couple of users it also needs microwave (and thus line of sight) to get enough spectrum.

Technology is irrelevant and has been for over 10 years. Probably longer.

I don't like the way your stuck with one provider at least with FTTH you have so many choices so who need FTTH rural people need FTTH because it open network.
