Hi Lance,
I live in the boondocks of Central Oregon, so I cannot address your questions about the spectrum spasmodicity of the stellar and spectral financial city, the hub of humanity, the doyen of digitalis that you address to our esteemed Francois (un-Mittelstadt) Cornucopeia, et moi. He'll have to chime in on his own bell. But, from my roost out here in the paisano gallery, I'd say that RF initiatives in dense dens like Femannhattan is about as likely to succeed at mating net nodes as a rooster at Times Square. Could be a fine show, but I believe the term for the dead is "limited engagement".
I understand that carriers in your New York have been bumping up against spectrum constraints, but I would suggest that problem is primarily limited to inefficient users of spectrum
Prove it, and prove you can control the human tendency to hoggishness. Like Jim Carville might have said "It's the bandwidth, my friend." Tell me of your view of the possible number of bits that can be transmitted per hertz, and do the extrapolation of bandwidth per carrier, muxing and overhead and voila....... Can you find a bottom line in NYC? I can't. Especially in the face of bandwidth hogs, previously discussed. I'd love to be better advised. And more hopeful. Basically, I'm an optimist. I think humanity can think itself into (most likely scenario) or out of most any fix. But the fix of available spectrum and its allocation and use seem to preclude this being the road to riches for simple investors hoping to cash in on the next great thing.
Anyway, I'm not at all convinced that hard wired land lines aren't going to be the thing that all of us say are the cat's meow in 20 years. Face it, wireless is great when we are away from the desk. But my clear belief is that more and more of us will be tied to the desk as the only possible way to get the bandwidth we need to compete in brave new world.
Think of this. I have a friend who's summed up the investors conundrum quite succinctly. If you use a mouse, you're too late. Imagine how all these patsies who are being spoon fed data on wireless links are going to feel when their net worth is hoovered by the smart crowd who control the data that is spoon fed to the fools at the end of wireless wire. Cf. gold-rush.org
Telegraph wires that ended just past the last beach that fools could reach...... Think about it....
The more things change.... etc.
