Industry news: Wednesday November 17 5:59 PM ET U S West to Launch Wireless Web Network NEW YORK (Reuters) - U S West Inc. said Wednesday it would use Salt Lake City, Utah, as the launch site of a new network to deliver wireless Internet to consumers, a service it said would enable faster delivery of Web services. The telecommunications company would then further deploy the new network technology to 11 states in U S West's region, which runs from Minnesota to Washington. Along with the network launch, U S West said it is introducing on Wednesday an Information Services package that would let customers select up to six categories of information, including sports scores, stock market results, weather and news bulletins, and have news sent to wireless handsets throughout the day. Customers would be able to dial into an Internet service provider or a corporate data network using mobile devices and receive e-mail on their handsets. A feature of the network would allow customers to link their home or office phone numbers with their wireless telephone number, automatically re-routing calls to the wireless phone when desired. The network will feature technology built in partnership with telecom equipment makers Alcatel of France, Ericsson of Sweden, Nortel Networks of Canada and Calabasas, Calif.-based Tekelec . It will use mini-tower antennas that are smaller and more environmentally friendly than past cell towers, the company said. U S West is set to merge with Qwest Communications International Inc (NasdaqNM:QWST - news)., the fiber-optic network operator and No. 4 U.S. long-distance company, when the $36 billion deal is approved by regulators. Shares of U S West fell 13/16 to 65-1/8 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Robert or Pat, Will all of the news coming out RE: MOT's explosion in wirless business & a parts shortage affect VARL? As a clueless outsider I would think that the lack of capacity utilization by VARL would be "sucked" up on the subscriber side by parts hungry giants. Is all of this "capacity" ready to go on the subscriber side? If so how come it's not going from 10% usage to 100% overnight? p.s. disregard my questions if they are not relevant given the recent news and/or how VARL fits in with the industry.
