Re: Nice to dream though. Hi ww, Nice to see you lurking about. That spectrum dream is sadly going to remain just that, unfortunately. The hope that you will continue to enlighten the conversation hereabouts lives on. Best Regards, Ray

ww: Thanks for the reply & informed response. Yes, in real estate we hear the 3 most important factors are "location, location, location." Appropriately, in the wireless world its "spectrum, spectrum, spectrum." Now, if one could get an exclusive license to 400 MHz - say between 800 MHz and 1.2 GHz - one could build a combination broadband mobile /ixed network which could put a serious hurt on every ILEC, CLEC and mobile carrier in the territory. Yup, only if one could. For some reason I just don't see the short-sighted consumer giving up his/her 900 MHz or new 1.2 GHz portable phones, for what, wireless broadband to the neighborhood? No, once "candy" is given to a baby, do you wanna be the one to take it away & use the proceeds to fund his/her college education? No. Let the kid keep his candy. I guess if the wireless folks don't like it they can take it up with the FCC. Yes, dream on.
