Also let's make sure the antenna is mounted on a "hydrological high point"
ie not anyplace where water is already pooling, as our roof is still very
vulnerable to small punctures turning into big leaks.
I imagine they'll probably weigh it down with cinder blocks or something?

What's the plan for physically linking the antenna to the router? How will
it penetrate the roof? Do we have enough cable available?

Monkeybrains has expanded their coverage a lot

find out tomorrow! You should come hang out on the roof with us!!!!!!
Monkeybrains is also solar-powered (at least the Oakland facility) AND
most of
their vehicles are electric, so I'm guessing they're more eco-friendly
than
LMI :)
and don't forget, LMI is just reselling AT&T...we are literally connected
to
the deathstar right now :(
cross your fingers for the install tomorrow!

iirc
LMI is preferred due to being solar-powered. They have the same
reseller/sharing terms as Sonic.
Monkeybrains would be cool if we can get it :) Omni is unfortunately
surrounded by highways and condos, hence not being the hub of WiFi we'd
love
it to be...
