See roamad.com <The mobile network that will supercede the traditonal ones, will be dirty cheap micro base stations, hanging from a lamp post spaced by a couple of hundred meters, not requiring RF planning, self adjusting kind of devices to whoich you can modify form the OSS. You can connect to it via any air interface. Until this new animal comes along, there's no breakthrough.> The technology to do such things exists today and you can go to Arizona and see a RoamAD network in action doing just that along a highway. 3 years ago, the "dirty cheap" base stations were large boxes [not quite fork lift] costing NZ$10,000 installed on the roof of buildings in Auckland. Now, tiny little base stations available at retail for NZ$200 can do the job. 3 years ago, PCMCIA 802.11b cards were NZ$200. Now they are "free" with the notebook computer and are built into more and more mobile devices. I think it will be a while before "any air interface" is ready. Mqurice
