Hi Roger; I can't talk about the rest of Country, but right where I'm at ( a one horse little town ) we are getting WaveAccess on 2.1 to 2.6 GHZ , it don't require a FCC license , it eliminates the cost of the phone lines into the ISP..( which is the largest cost to ISPs ) it has full ethernet LAN capabilities and a range that's about 10 mi but can be increased by the base station. A lot of it's over my head but I know the local guy setting it up and he is going to be rolling before any DSL gets here. Hell if IP switching keeps progressing I may soon eliminate a phone line on my end as well. A simple HF transceiver will hook me up. Things are changing here faster than they are rolling out the DSL. In this market getting to market first is ( almost ) every thing , but if you borrow money to pay your way and have to meet the interest payments just as cheaper technology comes along it's a trap. I can't say for sure , but with what I'm seeing with my own eyes I damm sure won't be making any bets on DSL players. -------------------- Ironically all the HF wireless stuff I've seen so far is made by Lucent. She looks cash strapped and prices on the equip are falling like a rock. Jim
