Hi Rob,

>>What if we apply that test to 2.5g or 3g? Seems most of comparisons to date of those systems have been vis-a-vis digital voice only. Yet some proponents are claiming that WLAN will be unnecessary with 3g WAN.<<

First of all, IMT-2000/3G was about getting more spectrum, moreso than enhancing capacity in existing bands.

Remember that Bluetooth has a 100m option, and many thought it would become a LAN, so 2.5G/3G/Bluetooth was an operator-controlled '3G WAN'.

>> FTTH test sites should provide some insights as to value added by wireless.<<

Meaning '4G' wireless? 2-way satellite, FWA or broadband (384kbps) access are low-tier, and not comparable to 10Mbps services.

>>Anyone ever see results from NTT's Biportable experiment?<<

The principle investigator has resumed attending IEEE 802 meetings, and may be in Dallas next week. I will ask.
