Got this little snippet from the motley fool:

fool.com
In addition, Excite@Home is considering using wireless transmission boxes, which will result in decreased installation costs and give the customer high-speed Internet access regardless of where in the home the cable connection is located. Customers would be able to buy the cable boxes in retail stores, eliminating the average 70 minutes of technician time it currently takes to get set up -- assuming, of course, he shows up when he's supposed to.

Sounds brilliant to me. Think how much technician install/debugging time could be spared if @home just stuck a wireless modem at the entry to the house. @home should be willing to give away the wireless networking cards for free in exchange. That would get people's juices going, no?

Next step: Wireless to the curb.
