Engineer is right. Actually Lucent announced some time back basically WDM technology over the air, i.e, infra-red or more accurately near infra-red that is split into various wavelengths (or colours - just like (D)WDM). These of course need no spectrum rights, just LoS...and then I wouldn't call the reciever an antenna either. This is nothing new, as i mentioned before Lucent announced a product some 7 or 8 months back.

Gilder's post looks very much like what I have described above. However, the company he may be talking about has a similar system and they are negotiating possibly with Motorola. Those who know me know I have not a great deal of respect for Gilder.

Oh well, we'll see.....
