engineer, re: MMDS what's to stop the cariers from buying up the MMDS freqencies and putting the lower cost to roll out HDR in that space as well? Are you saying HDR could work in the MMDS frequencies? Forgive my ignorance, but I have not heard discussion of this. If the airwaves are just sitting there unused, certainly WCOM and other buyers of airwaves could amortize their purchases via HDR even as they seek a longer-term solution with VOFDM...are there any special technical challenges to an HDR rollout in MMDS? Has this possibility been presented to the carriers? Really, up to now, MMDS discussion seems to have been all about the competitive threat to HDR...but your suggestion is that it could be an aid, no?
