Lynn, Depending on availability and pricing in my area, perhaps i will as well. I snaked a conduit 1100 feet to my house for the eventuality of a fiber run to my house from the dark fiber at the end of my driveway. If Mediaone or AT&T doesn't light it up, I will need to be looking at Covad DSL or wireless. I feel the need for speed. Good luck, Brian

How is CSCO install all the towers transmitters, the back bone to the towers, to make this happen by the end of next year? Who is going to pay for this multi billion unproven vaporware product? From the NY article.

<<Still, some telecommunications analysts point out that MMDS occupies a relatively limited frequency band. That means, they say, that communications carriers would need to set up a large number of transmitters in order to subdivide a metropolitan area into numerous cells to allow the same channels to be reused in different parts of the region. >>

NUMEROUS CELLS
