Hi elmat,

>>Incumbents Verizon or SBC implementing WLAN is bad for the business. (Mostly the US case, other parts of the world it may be different though)<<

I don't think it is anything more than Project Pronto was, a feint to places with lots of pay phones, which by definition have erlangs. When cellphones have WiFi cordless modes, then things will get interesting.

>>They are just using WLAN as a pawn in the overall chsee game and this pawn will be sacrificed at the first hint they are no longer useable. <<

Did you mean cheese game? ;-)
