THe MMDS system in Boston had to go to 7 or 9 cells simply to get coverage in the hilly terrain of Boston. Not an easy engineering job. You are basically talking line of sight propagation. In some places (flat) or with a prominent mountain (like Los Angeles) you might get away with one or two sites. Many places will require multiple sites. Adds lots of dollars. ADSL lite, pusehd by Microsoft, Compaq and whole consortium of players including 5 LECs will be rolled out at inexpensive prices is million unit quantities within 18 months. Not ubiquitous, but going to push down cost of internet access. (dial up internet providers will be pushed to the wall - who will pay $20 a month for 56K when you get 1 megabit for $40-49???
