JGoren: You must mean MMDS: a frequency band around 2.5Ghz which was originally intended for one-way analog terrestrial wireless cable. Most original wireless cable operators either went bust (CAI Wireless) or were teetering on the edge of bankruptcy until the FCC approved MMDS frequencies for 2-way digital transmission. WCOM and Sprint then bought out most MMDS companies during the last 12 months. The planned use is for wireless Internet access. The frequencies do not allow mobile wireless uses, since transmission requires either line of sight, or what one could call virtual line of sight (CSCO's VOFDM system). Equipment vendors in this sector include CAMP, ADAP, and soon CSCO. Transmission on the BBFW thread posted a more comprehensive list a few months ago. Best regards, Bernard Levy
