I recall that when I was working in Bangalore, India, another multinational
company (I think it was Siemens but I can't recall definitively) had to
poison the vultures that consistently perched on their microwave dish to get
reliable point to point. Given the complete non-regulation of spectrum out
there, at least once we had another provider clash with our spectrum[1],
forcing us to flip the dips until we found a clear one. However, when it
worked, it was incredibly solid.
Chocolate bars in India were usually melted already when you bought them.
;)
[1] Sometimes they would clash physically with us when they mounted extra
dishes on the tower in the downtown location - as in, some guy standing on
our dish to mount his.
