<You better get Engineer over to Merrill Lynch's offices so that he can explain the "Hopeless Economic and Business Model" that 802.11 fails to provide!!> I have to catch up on all those posts, but I think this misrepresents engineer's opinion. I think I read that the technology wasn't enough, it had to have a business model. I don't think he said the technology is no good. Similar to Globalstar - great technology, rotten business plan [or more accurately, rotten marketing ideas]. He said people have to pay for data. There's no free lunch. If they charge too much, as Globalstar did, they'll frighten everyone away with sticker shock. D'ohCoMo's imode is the way to charge = per pixel. Per minute charges will kill data deader than a dodo. Mqurice PS: Ooops, I see I am many posts behind and engineer and you have continued discussions....
