Jeff,

LOL, I was about to get some sleep. The hours become less the more I read on.

I remember in a research report reading that GMST was going to use "spare" time on the PageNet network to provide wireless link capabilities.

One of the wireless benefits was that of a second vehicle for data but the holy grail, as Henry termed it, was the interactivity including one-button T-commerce.

The spare time was in reference to the signal intelligence. Gilder fans will love this. The bandwidth can be divided into 6 segments and travel the unused portion or come together for higher/quicker utilization.

With the iSky investment my thoughts are that the signals may be multi-spectrumed, received by a local station from satellite and retransmitted via the unlicensed 900MHz path. Thomson's investment in Geocast is likewise thought provoking.

Good Nite,
Stew
