Malcolm: Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words. But you are basically right. There is a long long gap between what people think now about data and what might or might not happen. There is no guarantee that wireless data will be successful, but there is a probability. No one knows. And the only way we can see, is to wait, and see. From what I have been able to learn, I think that just as in fiberoptics, the more capacity, the more that capacity is used, the same will apply in wireless. But that is completely speculative and unproven. Best. Cha2

I woke up with that very same thought this morning. A picture is worth a thousand words. The analogy is not unlike the evolution from radio to television. I'm not old enough to remember what people were saying about televisions prospects just before it became affordable. But - this radio / television evolution is exactly why I think that data transfer for wireless is going to be sooooo popular. This may even be better. For one thing, it's two way communication. For another, you can use it not only for entertainment (a big plus to my mind) but to increase your productivity at work. Where I work, we use it in this way already - and really - it is very popular. The limitation of this implementation is that it only works over a small area. There are four receiver/transmitters per floor in the building. Now, imagine that working where ever you go. Pretty powerful stuff. And from the looks of it, QCOM has about a two (worst case) or three year lead.
