I'm new to the Amati discussion but have been following all your
discussions. I'm an investor not a technical Guru. I do realize the
relevance of the technical information that you all are pouring over.
However as an outsider so many trees, so much polarization on specific
subjects and no summarization of Amati value would chase anyone except
the most knowledgeable from even investing in Amati (not that your
objective is to get anyone to invest) and your most recent discussion
on CAP might cause the average layman to run and invest in Westel and
short Amati.

Since this is an Amati investment forum a broader analysis would
certainly help. It should center on the future value of this invest-
ment. Obviously this would be on a relative basis. May I suggest you
all agree on some type of indices. A market share indices (including
royalties) verses the rest of the last mile competition. So that we
who are layman can being to understand the actual impact of each new
series of events that the majority of you agree on. Example: Most
of you agree that with today's information that CAP's tech "has won
the first round" in the USA. However does this reduce Amati's next
years market share from 10 to 5% and 1998 from 25 to 15%(considering
that they are in a world market where this may vave very little
impact in Europe)?

Also being a layman I can freely be ignorant, with I hope, your
understanding. I would have thought that power cost to the Telco's
would be in terms of (Metgabits/subscriber)/Watts(Amati might be
able to service two-subscribers vs Westel's one) and that
the central hub modem could handle more than one customer line, thus
making Amati's expected 4-5 Watts more cost effective than Westel.
In addition at the subscriber end that the modem would operate off
of public utility as they do now.
