Hi Frank: I am not sure I understand your question. The prototype broadband wireless model has always been FTTN with wireless for the last mile. This is only an ''ideal'' situation, so that sometimes high-capacity wireless links are used for backhaul. However, wireless links are not nearly as well suited as fiber for very high capacity usage, since, as you know, the information carrying capacity of fiber is phenomenal (extending beyond terabits/sec) while ''broadband'' wireless links are far more limited. The advantage of wireless is its capacity to go literally everywhere. So fiber at the core of the network, wireless at the edges is the baseline architecture. Are you thinking of wireless (with heavy use of advanced antenna technology and frequency reuse) at the core of the network? Broadband satellite systems, particularly those involving mixtures of geostationary and low-earth-orbit satellites will probably lead to interesting architectures with some features along the lines of what you are describing. Best regards, Bernard Levy
