Yes. This is correct. Also no licensing needed for 24ghz. We are rolling 
out a dual uplink 24ghz AirFiber back bone in the next couple of weeks.

The FNF has obtained a 3.65ghz license and that's come in very handy in 
some of the very noisy parts of our footprint.

Well. I'd recommend being incorporated. Which isn't licensing per se. 
I'd also recommend being bonded/insured. Just good general business 
practices.

Not really. We are serving areas that Google Fiber has decided to not 
service.
