Any plans on supporting IPv6? I was disappointed to find that I couldn't reach IPv6 IP addresses when I visited Indy Hall.

Has Comcast given you any trouble yet? Like their lobbyist suddenly taking an interest in housing code that permits antennas or anything of that sort?

Any plans to service the areas outside of Philly? (I moved out 3-4 years ago, but am starting to miss it quite a bit.)
Either way, by even introducing competition like this, you're doing something fantastic. Kudos!

Thanks!
We're focused on covering much more of Philadelphia before we start looking to expand elsewhere.

What wireless hardware are you using? 60 ghz?
Do you have any concerns about the incumbents trying to cut you out of the market? Perhaps by lobbying to get your business shut out, or perhaps through some kind of smear campaign? Or something else - I wouldn't put anything past some of these existing suppliers. Do you see any action on their part against you?

No. We're too little to be a financial concern to them. Also, anything they might do would be a bad PR move for them. Then again, I'm sure we'd get more business from the Streisand effect. :-)
Can residential customers buy the business plan to get the higher bandwidth?

Can you point some cantennas down into Love Park / City Hall with an open AP? Free internet in a public place can be good advertising
This is a great idea

What frequencies do you use to serve the last mile? (not a potential customer) Do you see degraded performance during heavy rain?
Happy to answer any questions.
