I thought there were a host of other companies out there offering differing forms of wireless internet, including PHCM, AETH, NTRO and even COMS Palm VII. And, for the last several years, one could get a modem card for your laptop and access the internet thru your cell/PCS phone, but the speeds were like 14 K. If these are being improved and the HDR you mentioned is coming on line, why would anyone need MCOM?

Sherm, I really belive that that advantages of a higher data rate HDL supplies could be handicapped buy a higher price than Richochet. MCOM's upgrading to a higher than 128K bandwidth (per the ON24 interview) and @$29.00/mo. it's a more cost effective solution with a competitive data rate when compared to HDL.
