The SOMA Network story mentioned by Gilder is fascinating. They have pcs, mmds, wcs, and 3.5 GHz spectrum to run fixed wireless applications (WLL) at 12 MBPS. The most fascinating part of the story is that they will be using a WCDMA approach since they don't have to worry about mobility.

I think it would be amazing if Sprint FON started to use their MMDS spectrum for a WCDMA WLL network to deliver broadband wireless, quality voice services, and value added telemetry services.

Wouldn't it be ironic as hell if Sprint were the first company in the US with CDMA2000 1XEV for mobility and WCDMA for WLL broadband internet, voice, and other services? Consider the potential for a 3G network that integrates CDMA2000 1XEV mobility with WCDMA WLL fixed 3G platform.

The introduction of SomaPorts into residential or small business offices connects directly to a local Network Port Manager that covers a 3 to 5 mile radius and connects thousands of potential users without laying last mile fiber to the residence. This would create instant wireless broadband accross the country.
