Hi Frank: In the fixed wireless area, an interesting development that came from almost nowhere has been mesh-based networks. For the past 3 years, the technology that was considered the logical approach for offering dynamically allocated bandwidth to customers was point to multipoint (PMP) technology. However, standards setting delays on wireless ATM etc ... have opened the door wide-open to mesh-based solutions (Triton Networks, etc...) I still think that PMP will prove more scalable in the long run, but the paradigm shift from PMP to mesh-based wireless networks has been both sudden and intriguing. The other interesting and unanswered question at this point is what role communications satellites will play in offering voice and data services to customers. Last year, optimism was running high in the satellite industry. Now, with the fate of Iridium, everyone views satellites as dead, beaten by the combination of terrestrial fiber and cellular wireless or cable or DSL. However, the current wisdom is highly US-centric. I would not be surprised if it was proven seriously flawed. Best regards, Bernard Levy
