Dear p.friend: LMDS systems offered by LU (HP designed), Nortel (Broadband Networks designed), and Bosch Telecom (formerly TI) are ready for prime time! They have been tested extensively (HP's in the San Jose area, Bosch Telecom in Brazil). Teligent started deploying the Nortel equipment, and ARTT signed a $200M contract with LU for LMDS equipment. The problem that US West is facing is that its B-licenses have only 150MHz, which allows voice plus a little bit of data, in other words a poor man's version of LMDS. They need to see how much mileage they can squeeze out of their limited bandwidth. To place numbers in perspective, 150MHz at 2bits/Hz/sec (which is slightly optimistic) allows 300 Mb/sec. Assuming users will need at least 2 Mb/sec (what ADSL offers), you can serve 150 users per cell, and you have no bandwidth left for video. So US West has a problem, but all A license holders are ready to march on. Best regards, Bernard Levy
