And even if a fixed wireless link to the premises were used instead of a copper/fiber local loop, it would only be an in-kind substitution for the local loop, and it wouldn't afford mobility during other times. Unfortunately, I cannot find the article that discussed this, but my understanding was that the purpose of the "switch" was to hand over the user from the cellular system to the fixed wireless access point as you entered your home "cell". This would mean that if your home access point had a Bluetooth interface (in addition to whatever interface brought you the broadband signal), that you could use your dual-interface cdma/bluetooth phone to access your home network. So you're always connected, with a connection suited to your environment - i.e. faster at home, at the office or in a public space where you can access a fixed wireless radio. It wasn't clear from the article whether both the mobile and fixed wireless service had to be purchased from the AT&T, but that seems likely. If I am able to eventually find the article, I'll post it downstream. Rob
