good information about wireless in the discussion about T. semibiznews.com Less than 1% of U.S. phone users plan to go completely wireless, says study Semiconductor Business News (06/14/00, 11:27:20 AM EDT) OYSTER BAY, N.Y. -- Despite the rush to introduce products for radio-frequency communications, less than 1% of the U.S. population has decided to unplug wireline telephones to go completely wireless, concluded a new study by Allied Business Intelligence Inc. here. The research firm today said its "Mobile Wireless Voice and Data Usage 2000" study found that most users do not see wireless systems replacing wireline telephones. "It is evident that most wireless users are complementing wireline use with wireless, but the overall replacement of wireline phones by wireless phones is not occurring as rapidly as we have been led to believe by anecdotal evidence," said analyst Anna Karampahtsis, who was the study's manager at Allied Business Intelligence. The study's usable sample consisted of 1,200 individuals in U.S. households. The research firm said the demographic profile of the sample closely matched the U.S. census of the country's population.

Well, That's great News..! I respect your stock trading abilities, they are much better then mine. I like AT&T and what they are attempting to do under the cape of an old world company and new world reality. Local service could be toast in 5 years especially in the big cities like Boston and eventually the rural areas. If the future is wireless or broadband cable they are positioned nicely for the next 10 years. For a while longer they may bare the weight of high debt and other problems, but this restructuring could produce another IBM type turn-around down the road. This unusual mutual fund owns a lot of AT&T -- UMBIX and is looking forward. I may buy some at these prices and lower...? Chip
