qdog, I know this story as its my neck of the woods. We currently have MMDS for line of sight TV signal from Princes Holdings AKA Tony O'Reilly ...Ex Heinz. Two WLL licenses are being auctioned to provide competition for Eircom the ex state monopoly. I am surprised Ocean has failed as they would provide true competition. Esat and Eircom have duopoly on wireless with GSM networks. WLL is a killer as it takes out the last mile cost of networks. Really good book on Telecoms: The Death Of Distance by Frances Cairncross ex The Economist. Question for the thread: When will US wireless companies go to calling party pays? This is the key to the explosion of new subscribers. Regards, John
