ElMatador - Since WLL only make economic sense in a high density users' area

Actually all of the economic studies I've seen indicate that high density (e.g. Manhattan, downtown Mexico City, ...) areas are precisely where wireline is still cheaper. It is in low density to medium density (suburbs and rural) that WLL has an advantage over wireline since in wireline you pay by the foot, but in WLL you have high baseline costs, but each additional user costs little.

PS You are of course right that trees et all are an issue, but don't take DECT as a good example of the possible range of a 2 GHz WLL system. DECT was designed largely for internal to buildings use and so it has timing limitations and other things which limit its range. GSM, US-TDMA, and CDMAOne don't have the same problems.
