An economic and commercial viability study for the development of local public commercial microwave services in major urban areas : final report.: Co24-3/1-85-001-1E-PDF
"This study, commissioned for the Department of Communications (DOC), assessed the potential economic viability of developing local public commercial microwave services in large urban centres, identified radio-communication applications tailored to business user needs, and evaluated the relative demand for microwave radio-communication services. Goss, Gilroy & Associates Ltd., assisted by SkyWave Electronics Ltd., were retained to undertake this study. The study reviewed applications that have already been made to the DOC for private commercial services in Canadian centres as well as examined the United States' experience in local public commercial microwave applications, prior to developing a number of postulated delivery models for providing microwave service. The postulated delivery models were compared to alternative distribution methods to determine economic viability. Those models that were considered to be potentially economically viable, were then presented to both service users and service providers to obtain their views on the likelihood of respectively adopting and offering local public microwave services"--Executive summary.
