Interesting points regarding this announcement NXLK (ie., LMDS - 28-31GHz) currently has P-MP only as T1 radios (purportedly as Spectrapoint - ie., Bosch/Cisco/MOT) They hope to have 4xT1 to 8xT1 (6-12Mbps) P-MP by year end. P-MP DS3s not until 2nd half of next year. And OC3 is thought to be a ways behind that. And the current T1s P-MPs are only voice capable - not data, let alone ATM capable And the reference to 672 T1s in this press release apparently is the theoretical limit of NXLK's use of an OC3 P-MP (whenever they get it) using 1) ALL of their current spectrum 2) at a purported aggressive (for 28-31GHz) 90% sectorization WITH orthogonality. Also, their previous statement that their local network would be about 1/3 fiber 1/3 DSL and 1/3 BBFW apparently was a significant understatement of what % BBFW would be to them. BBFW is currently expected to be a majority of their local access solution.
