EXACTLY Cowboy!  I ma here to learn!  There are certainly much smarter 
people than me that I can learn from. 

The only way I see it is that if we dont "get our hands dirty" by giving 
it a try and then making suggestions for improvement, we get no where.  
The only other options I have seen so far are A) turn it off B) go to 
another band.

Turn it off does nothing really, except delay the inevitable.  Go to 
another band might be interesting, but would we have to deal with worse 
coverage (if it was to go to a higher frequency), or is a band even 
available?

Again, we can Nay Say, or we can offer CONCRETE ideas of improvement.   
I must say that that I certainly dont feel connected to iBiqity.  I 
think that their  lack of communications to the engineering community is 
certainly a pitfall.  If I were them I would be all over the place.
