Lynn, When you look at those Direct TV dish look at the angle. They are pointing up to GEO sats. The communication between those is one way, you have to use a phone line for the up link. Where as CSCO the dish will be horizontal with two way communication. If you read the NYtimes article you will see that many, many cell sites will have to be built to make it happen. CSCO said they will be going after the building to building Microwave data communication market first, that's is a natural market to move into first, the consumer market is the wiz bang, one liner stuff, that will take years before it is widespread if at all.
