Jaskay, you are doing a great deal of DD & this is a good thing IMO. Thanks for sharing it with us. I read it all although some of it is hard for me to understand. It is very complex (wireless technology) and contains much uncertainty.

However I try to keep things somewhat simple and look at the overall picture. I believe that Wi-LAN's technology is at this point superior and will likely remain superior as it develops. The applications for high speed data transmission are immeasurable. I feel speed & performance are huge assets and that will determine who succeeds. In the graphic arts industry where I work high speed data transmission is crutial. The files are huge and complex and the demands on turnaround time enormous. This is another probable market for WIN. I know so because they have performed demos for a few of my customers. WIN will by no means "control the world", but will achieve significant market share IMO.

As for your comments in comparing VHS/beta and replacing technology later. I don't agree, look at cell phones, I've had about 6 and each has been superior to the previous. Look at computers, new one every 2-3 years. How about modem connections, I've had 14K, 56K & currently @home cable modem. WIN technology will be relatively low cost to purchase & install in the near future. People will pay for performance. Countless times I have seen my customers make large capital purchases of technology & then find it does not perform satisfactorily, so they dump it in less than a year & purchase something better. All JMHO of course. Cheers!!!
