It's big, real big if it's HDR.. Is HDR ready for deployment? I don't think it's that far along yet, just testing in Korea. ALthough, Sprint came right out and said they didn't like HDR taking up extra spectrum. If MCI/Sprint roles out something different then HDR, WATCH OUT BELOW. arrgg I need more input.. I will go to the MCI site and see if I can find something. G

MCI WorldCom Begins Market Trials Of Fast Web Access Tech] CLINTON, Miss. -(Dow Jones)- MCI WorldCom Inc. began market trials of its "fixed wireless" high speed Internet access service in Jackson, Miss., Baton Rouge, La., and Memphis. In a press release Tuesday, the company said it plans to sell the service in areas ignored by the big broadband companies and large local phone companies. It will roll out commercial service later this year after it gets a license from the Federal Communications Commission. The service uses radio spectrum designated for advanced technology known as Multichannel Multipoint Distribution service, which is capable of serving a 35-mile radius. The services, called WarpOne and Warp 310, offer connections of up to 310 Kilobits per second for $39.95 a month for unlimited use. It's the old wireless cable revamped for two way. fcc.gov Greg
