Good Towerstream Video

Done right, video advertisements can be very, very effective because they can convey a lot of information in a short amount of time.

Like this new Towerstream video... on YouTube - www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd9uG-RKP6s (wish I could embed it, but they YouTube doesn't seem to allow that [easily] any more.)

The video brings home, quickly, the point about the fragility of wireline versus wireless connectivity in this day and age, especially "wireless done right" as Towerstream does (lots of attention to their backhaul infrastructure, including significant redundancy).

It reminds me of Dan Hesse's claim while he was CEO of (legacy) Terabeam that the only thing that could interfere with Terabeam's (optical) wireless signals was a 747 that could hover between skyscrapers.

Well done, Towerstream, and kudos for doing snarky, low-cost, but highly effective marketing like this!
