LMDS/28 GHz has several other significant public player footprint holders including Adelphia, Montana Power & Light, and Western Wireless as well as Winstar supplementing or defending its 38 GHz holdings in some markets. 38 GHz has 14 licenses of 100 MHz each and auction will include remnants where applications were not filed or were not mutually exclusive when FCC froze things 12/95. 39 GHz auction limitation rules are not known yet and a bandwidth hungy company may be able to buy more than 100 MHz at a crack. In LMDS auction, both the A & B block in quite a few cases were bought by same concern. 24 GHz also may have an auction and Teligent pares down from 3-400 MHz in large markets to only 80 MHz in second tier markets a la top 40-70 markets. Market power more than market size to date has larger aggregators maintaining that multichannels in a market of major import as frequency reuse can allow any single millimeter channel licensee from 24-38 GHz to build a robust business. AT&T & Commco just have yet to look for the whites of many users eyes.

What about the unlicenced spectrum?Adaptive Broadband seems to be drumming up business in these frequencies>>>>>U-NII contains three frequency bands that each consist of 100 MHz in the 5 GHz range. ``Because no FCC action is required to use the band, it will instantly allow carriers both large and small to compete for voice and data services,' said Dr. Daniel Scharre, Adaptive Broadband's chief technology officer. ``Over the next several years, we expect this opportunity to dramatically change the landscape of the telecommunications industry. We estimate, based on feedback from customers, that the U-NII band represents a $10-billion potential market in this country for wireless data networking equipment.' << On July 27, Adaptive Broadband announced that I3S, an Irving, Texas high-speed data services provider, signed a contract initially valued at $100-million over five years for AB-Access equipment to be used in multi-tenant residential buildings across 48 U.S. states. Once installed, it will provide ultra high speed Internet access for 20 to 30 million residences. SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 1999-- ADAPTIVE BROADBAND(TM) CORPORATION (Nasdaq National Market:ADAP - news) announced today it has signed an initial $20-million contract with Fuzion Technologies, Boca Raton, FL., for AB-Access(TM) wireless data networking equipment. It will be deployed over the next three years, beginning in Florida, for business users of the Internet. Fuzion is the first carrier in the industry to commercially install this new wireless equipment, which provides Internet access at speeds up to 25 Mbps. It has successfully tested the equipment during the past five weeks and said it will have its first customers on-line by September 30. Fuzion will use the Qwest fiber optic network as a backbone, thereby relieving potential bottlenecks in their system which could decrease the AB-Access delivered capacity. ``This is just the first step in the national and international deployment of AB-Access by Fuzion,' said Dave Frank, Fuzion Chief Operating Officer. Fuzion has entered into discussions with potential joint partners for a nationwide network deployment, and has already signed on several Fortune 100 customers in Florida.
