Mika Hakkinen, there are a thousand ways you to build a new network today. It is up to the vendor to stand up and persuade the operator, that HIS way of building it is the right one. And by right one I mean, one that will help him make money. Make money not only, next month but as well as next two to three years. By then he would have to implement new technologies because there would be newer stuff on the market that would render his network obsolete. But there is a catch. And that is the "Elmatador Uncertainty Principle" Which says: "Even the best network cannot be implemented economically. Because the moment that people take note of it and react to it, it has already changed the way networks should be built."

Mika - Any version of DSL will enable high band-width (I have seen up to 55Mbps...unbelievable and not needed for me..yet!). Over how long a distance, with what other wires bundled next to it, and what type of data were the other wires carrying? I really am curious since I haven't seen any reliable data on the real limits of twisted pair last miles, but 55Mbps seems like a lot for all bundled users at the same time. My point is that eventually POTS and cable hit the same limits as wireless - system self interference from other users. Of course the isolation is greater than for wireless (and with OFDM made even greater, but frequency stability and power transmission capability still provide limits) so the bits/sec capacity is much much greater, but ... . In any case I'm interested in what the practical limits are. Clark PS If I've missed you and you're already on your 'hols', then have a good one. Talk to you in a bit.
