Two WLL licenses are being auctioned to provide competition for Eircom the ex state monopoly.

Could you be so kind as to tell us what the frequency is, if you know.

WLL is a killer as it takes out the last mile cost of networks.

Really good book on Telecoms: The Death Of Distance by Frances Cairncross ex The Economist.

Yes WLL is, especially in monoplies and under developed countries. A present viable option to wire, but at some point it will be supplanted with FTTH (Fiber to the home).

Thanks for the title.

Question for the thread: When will US wireless companies go to calling party pays? This is the key to the explosion of new subscribers.

There is debate before the FCC about this and I suspect there will be a ruling shortly about it. It's something that has truly irratated me over the years. Now with the data explosion, my screen will be flooded the advertisements that I'll probably have to pay for the airtime as well. It better be Guiness and not McDonald's.

Cheers..
