Brian: Still curious re the role of CDMA, if any, in the MMDS arena - or in any wireless data transmission where the requirements are fast and large. Are you making a distinction that the wireless "fiber" point to point systems which WCII, TGNT and NXLK supply have no reason to use CDMA, since CDMA only "adds cost"? Aren't these companies moving right now to point to multipoint transmission? Is there any role for CDMA there? Your comments seem to imply that there might be. Interested in new areas where CDMA might be used and since the wireless "fiber" which competes with actual fiber in the ground for business to business and urban use for major buildings is likely to continue to be a major market, seems like CDMA could add functionality - at least in making true narrow line of sight less crucial. Comments? Chaz PS A useful link for broadband wireless "fiber" for those who might be curious: Message 10893358 And the new Sprint fixed broadband wireless entry: Message 10874861
