broadband peril

[Don Mock]

One of the previous companies I work with were initiating a broadband system
up here in Phoenix.  There is a partial one in Tucson currently.(cant
remember the name)  But during one of our monsoon duststorms we tested the
reliability of the "reception"  And even during the storm it never lost any
signal.  So I would really look into this further as a good option...
