The question is whether building the Aereo antenna arrays developed some special understanding of antennae that would confer competitive advantage on a wireless ISP.<p>Wireless ISPs have been tried for 15 years, but the only place they&#x27;ve been successful is where there is no real alternative. Weather, humidity, and trees make it extremely difficult to compete with the bandwidth and reliability of wired Internet.<p>Personally, I&#x27;m dubious that the Aereo antenna technologies apply to this new venture. The Aereo arrays tuned in relatively low-frequency signals from optimum locations. A wireless consumer ISP using unlicensed spectrum will be the opposite: listening for high frequencies in bad locations.
