So existing long distance links to reach rural communities are not good
candidates to upgrade from old microwave that handles just phone to
something that can serve broadband for the town ?
If existing towers are further apart than what is realistic for higher
capacity links, then upgrading would involve new towers at which point,
the economics might point to fibre.
