<<this is line of sight point to point type stuff which is fixed>> This fits in with Lucent CTO's statements (at Gilder Conference last month)that Lucent was working on a major advance in fixed wireless. Confirmed with another Lucent scientist at the conference who said that this advance had nothing to do with mobile wireless technology (which he went on to say was a major disruptive innovation in telecomm that was just now beginning to be felt).

This whole licensing issue reminds me of an agreement by Xerox to give IBM a license to produce a key photocopy component - a brush that would wipe off the excess toner from the copy before it left the machine. Xerox had been using brushes made from beaver fur - very expensive and the supply was uncertain. But Xerox (this is back in the 1970's) learned how to make a synthetic brush, whereupon it gave IBM the beaver license! The source for this is the retired chief engineer who was responsible for the original Model 914 copier.
