RS, as I understand it WLL is narrow band CDMA designed for limited applications - ie small groups of users. Still, the darn things have to be able to connect to the rest of the world somehow, right? Hence, a truly remote village would need WLL plus some connection to rest of country/world. That would be fairly expensive, I presume. It would be nice to know what part of the $/line is attributed to getting a signal from outside to the village. Why can't WLL be combined with G* to give remote villages cheap local calls (within village) and rely on G* connection to route calls going to rest of world. I'm envisioning a central clearing station for the G* calls (WLL base station) as opposed to each hand set connected directly to satellite. Villagers would be able to purchase and use cheap CDMA handsets that only use expensive air time if calling outside the WLL network. Is that technically feasible? Pierre
