Another rapidly growing company is GBLX that own trans Atlantic fiber optic, is rapidly installing fiber in europe, is installing a 4 th and 5 th cable in the So Atlantic to tie in the islands. Buying Frontier that owns the major US internet hubs, nationwide long distance, nationwide fiber. Is buying US West that has local and wireless operations. GBLX has agreements with GSTRF satelite to provide the last mile connections. Picture a remote village somewhere in the world without phone service. Gobal satellite phone booth beams the signal to satelite, next to global crossings fiber net, next to the part of the world expecting the call, next to the local company last mile hook up. No cable TV needed. The cable TV acquisitions are for local phone service. Someday local service will be virtually free in a package of long distance, data, internet, TV, local phone. All provided without the use of ATT and Local Bells with cellular or microwave last mile. No cable to the house. Cable TV is out of date. All the top execs at ATT have left and are now in competition with T CD

Still think Armstrong is on the right track? AT&T has lost its unique franchise and buying cable is going in the wrong direction. AT&T still believes in SDMA even though the rest of the world is rapidly converting to the higher standard CDMA. Sprint PCS recently announced the closing of its SDMA wireless service in Washington DC and the plan to instal a CDMA network. PCS said they will try to sell the older equipment that is unreliable in comparison with Q* owned CDMA. PCS is probably talking with Armstrong right now. DALLAS, June 15 /PRNewswire/ - In a significant step toward realization of next generation wireless networks, AirTouch Communications (NYSE: ATI - news) and Nortel Networks (NYSE/TSE: NT) have demonstrated wireless voice and data calls over a packet network based on Internet Protocol (IP). The calls were originated from the Nortel Networks' Wireless Internet Lab in Richardson, Texas using cdmaOne wireless handsets, and routed using IP over a packet backbone network connected to the public switched network for termination at the headquarters of AirTouch Communications in San Francisco. ''We've shown that using an IP core network for wireless voice and data services is more than just chartware,'' said Matt Desch, president, Wireless Solutions, Nortel Networks. ''It's real. It works. We can demonstrate Internet access and services from a standard, unmodified wireless phone. And we can support telephony over the same network with no degradation in voice quality.''
