take one industry alone. Cable modems, one of hte fastest growing things around. they spend $300-500 per house to purchase a cable modem. then they spend another $100-200 on installation. So if they just took to putting HDR repeaters on telephone poles and handed out HDR modem cards,they can take that installation down to $150 for the HDR modem and somewhere around $50-100 for overhead on that installation. they would use their existing cable distribution to the local neighborhoods and then use HDR in teh last mile for the house to house wiring. Look for COX/Sanders to do this any day. The first year savings is alot. Next take the business traveler and fixed business world. Alot of the hotels are now upgrading to fixed 10baseT connectiosn in hotel rooms. If they put this as HDR nodes,then they can offer this thruout the holtel and grounds and everywhere. Much eaier to install and retrofit than ripping out walls and running cat 5 cable. And this extends to all teh ancillary biz traveler locations as well. Airports, travel lounges, rental car locations, gas stations etc. there is alot of information out there that is useful for the mobile person, jsut not tapped yet. Look for Wingcast to explore alot of this. SOON.
