 I don't disagree with the description of this type of spatial reuse.  It
will be interesting to see how nonlinear the capacity growth due to tighter
angles is, however, and whether it's more like a 4x increase or an 8x
increase.

The question of whether they can achieve their goals without additional
reuse (for example, covering a given hex with more than one channel) is
open. Fun times.
