Wes/max90 .. Last Mile Broadband Solutions Here's a link to a thread devoted to this topic and info/comments on the major players .. alot of smart technically competent sounding folks on this thread .. the emphasis is more on the equipment suppliers/vendors than on the network operators/owners .. Subject 4754 The i-net connectivity market is obviously huge .. IMHO I don't feel that there is any one best 'technology' or 'delivery' bet out there .. as I see it the market will support/enrich several companies in each of the following 'delivery' markets .. interestingly each technology has various constraints/limitations/liabilities that prevents any one of these 'solutions' from becoming ubiquitous .. 1) xDSL .. has distance from CO and CO access limitations 2) Cable Modem .. limited to existing cable plant 3) Wireless .. Line of sight and rain attenuation limitations 4) Satellite .. presently high speed on downlink only Our job .. should we choose to accept it .. is to identify the likely winners in each category for both the equipment vendor and network owner/operator .. Here's a 'solution' that we should research further Message 10648542 Jim in CT ..
