Hi Art: I'v been picking the brain of my ISP guru, about new stuff
coming out..he has an interest in keeping up with it..and he's
sharp..but he don't mess with the stock market..he's not to hot
on the xDSL stuff..what he said to watch was "wireless local loop",
that will let him do an end run around the local telco, and give
the subcribers speeds as fast as his T1 can go..it's all done by
short range high freq. radio..he'l be testing some soon.
BTW, BBN got even more work to do for AOL..like I said in
earlyer post, don't overlook the AT&T connection to BBN, you can
bet they have thier fingers in this somehow..and keep in mind
telsave was , or is a reseller of AT&T L.D. like excel resells
for MCI..exactly what the AT&T connection is I dion't know,
but they are into this for some reason and being sort of slick
about it. BBN would not be doing the work other wise, it seems
that maybe they can build up the network..then if AOL defaults
on paying..( very likley )..they can move in for a cheep price,
juggle a few numbers..BBN gets to write off the bad dept,..
and gain a lot of tax breaks..in other words when AOL goes
belly up..the build up gets two tax breaks, and AT&T gets
controal..via a backdoor, or something like that..I think the
plans for AOL going bankrupt..are in the fire and all deliberate,
but will not happen untill when it pays them the most.
To top that off it will cancel out the ability of AOL to pay off
the many pending lawsuits.
