Winstar, Teligent and NExtlink are good companies as long as you have a long term approach. Yes, they use TDMA so to speak. If this thread becomes rigid, I'll have to start a new one, besides Maurice stipulated that anything goes. Can't have fun, what the point??? I swear I'm looking for a Broadband Wireless organization similar to CDG, but nothing so far. Kind of surprised there isn't one. OK, now it is time to ask this question: Where does QCOM outsource some of their chips? See I peered into a Samsung phone and I know this answer, but it is obvious that no one seems to know that Taiwain is stamped on a few of their chips. Is this going to impact them short term?

Here is an example of Europe being different than the US, and one reason I figure that MMDS license will change. Esat says in line for wireless licences DUBLIN, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Esat Telecom Plc (Nasdaq:ESAT - news) said on Wednesday it expected Ireland's telecommunications regulator to award it two Irish wireless local loop licences. Esat said the Fixed Wireless Point to Multipoint Access licences -- one broad band, the other narrow band -- would complement its fibre-based local exchange strategy in Ireland and would bring the benefits of broad band technology to a wider audience. Wireless technology offers a radio-based alternative to copper or fibre optic cable, connecting customers' premises to the nearest access point. Esat Telecom said the broad band licence would help it expand services such as broad band Internet access, multi-media, and electronic commerce, while the narrow band licence would allow high-speed voice and Internet services to the home office and high-end residential market sectors. Irish media reported on Wednesday that three other companies -- eircom Plc , cable group Princes Holdings, and U.S.-based Formus Communications -- were also in line for high-tech wireless licences. Two shortlisted companies, British Telecom (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BT.L) and Ocean, a joint venture between BT and Ireland's Electricity Supply Board, had failed to secure licences, the Irish Times said.
