Thanks John, 'It's cheap, and it's fast,' said Howard Anderson, chairman of the Yankee Group in Boston. 'I don't have to dig up your street to lay down cables. All I need are a couple of transmission towers. That's why this technology is being used.' Looks like another job for American Tower. BTW checkout AMT's latest news release today. What particularly interested me in it was the reference to the extensive fiber links to the internet in NJ. Wait till the street becomes aware of AMT's INTERNET connection! How that for hype. Just mention that magic word and up she goes. <G>

Cisco. I was struck by this paragraph: Though it has yet to receive orders for its new product, Cisco is predicting it will sell more than $3 billion in wireless equipment next year. Though that amount is just a fraction of Cisco's annual revenue of $12.2 billion in fiscal 1999, sales of its broadband wireless equipment are expected to grow rapidly, topping $7 billion in 2003, said Steve Smith, a director of marketing for Cisco. 24.6% is just a fraction? Wow. The Service Provider's Guide here has an overview: cisco.com This doesn't seem a whole lot different in concept than Metricom's Ricochet technology. But bandwidth is higher. Is this bad news for Metricom? metricom.com Higher frequency: Frequency Band = 2.500 to 2.680 GHz versus 902-928 MHz WT
