glenn, dont believe ntro and metricom are in same mkt...ntro targets small to medium businesses with their airstar system...their strength imo is their cellmac dynamic bandwith allocation technology...they will do well in dense metropolitan areas esp. in developing countries(hence most of their sales in europe and south america so far)...im currently debating investing in mcom, but it has run up quite abit lately...their wireless modems are intriguing to me as it is a product i would definitely use...people will realize quickly that to browse the internet with a cellphone will be annoying, due to size limitations...whereas a laptop will do just fine...btw, did ntro win the right to be the standard with their cellmac system?... or just file/apply to be the new standard?...either way, im hoping for a pullback in mcom so i can buy in...sorry to all that are long<ggg>. mact
