Cellphones will replace computers in the future.

Semiconductor lithography(avoid steppers) presently is only 32 nm. Ten years ago, research labs already can do 3 nm line width transistors. The major new production equipment is using ion deposition, which can do single crystal on glass(thin film transistors on LCD glass?) by linear accelerator principle.

So, hotspot servers are the phones(microwave towers) with small antenna. Hotspot will use 802.11 spec. but limited to 28 users(mesh) per frequency channel, and range is less than 100 feet radius. Longer range has to have a much lower frequency carrier for the microwave frequency. 18 hz can carry it to 15 miles in the air?

Telewire already has triple play but easier to use cellphone hotspot servers on the poles?

Have fun Bob, but think cellphone form factors from now on?
