I wanted to thank everyone on the thread for their input on the wireless internet question. Interesting watching the action due to Corning acquisitions in the Fiber Optic Sector today: finance.yahoo.com I have been attempting to put together a list of companies in the sectors relevant to the discussion here at the Bull Sector: bullsector.com Please let me know any symbols I have left off the appropriate lists. The majority of what I have been reading leads me to believe DSL may be a bit ahead of cable in terms of installations. Stockwise there still appears to be some laggards in both groups. I believe they might see plenty of upside soon. Thanks again, Sender

The local loop refers to the 190 million copper pairs that connect businesses and homes to telecommunications companies' central offices. "Packet over DSL represents the most efficient, flexible platform for delivering bundled voice and data services to small businesses and customers," says U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray Senior Analyst Conrad Leifur, who authored the report.... moneycentral.msn.com
