The current policy doesn't mention wires or any specific technology...
As long as your wireless service is to a fixed location subscriber,
and you can ensure the service is for personal use, and only used at
their place of residence, then they are a residential customer under
2.13
"2.13. Residential Customer -- End-users who are individual persons
and not organizations and who receive service at a place of residence
for personal use only are considered residential customers.
"
Now if you are delivering a wireless service, accessible for mobile
devices, or wireless devices that subscribers can have installed
anywhere other than a residence, then your service is a
non-residential installation, 4.2.3.7.3 doesn't apply to the
service, and that's how it should be.
The policy is _NOT_ about type of networking technology, there is no
mention of such things in the policy. It's about who and where the
subscriber's device is.
