"It doesn't seem to me that any big technological breakthrough is necessary to multicast-enable these P-P networks..." Dave- From a layman's point of view, I happen to agree too. Seems to me, on the "point" end of the beam, just clamp a few more laser guns on the pole and that would do the trick. Probably pretty naive, right? Why do all that, "lighthouse," beam stuff that supposedly TeraBeam does in order to make it a P-MP? The way I guessed that all the links(with the exception of GoC) you posted may be P-P was because the photo of the products were simple, single beam lasers guns aimed at one another. One-to-one from the photos. So doesn't this mean it's a simple P-P system? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
