>>"...unless you refined the definitions of the terms you used." Now hang on there just a minute. These aren't MY terms or definitions. You took exception to the way I was using the terminology in an earlier post so I'm just trying to nail YOU down to a definition. As I said after you asked, no, I'm not talking specifically TB. How can we? The patent app mentions all conceivable twists of existing network technology at every point in the description. The application is littered with 'it could be this or this or this or that, and anyone skilled in the art knows it could be alternative 1,2,or 3 also.' What use is it to try and predict which decision branch they take at each point? Now in your "long" description you accept what I described originally so it doesn't seem like my short dumb synopsis is so dumb after all, w/r/t getting down to the heart of the matter. IOW,it seems you're circling back around, in your 'longer' answer, to what you told me was the wrong topic w/r/t p-mp so this has really gotten nowhere. Let's drop it or take it up in PM's.

Hi Frank and Dave: I am glad that you are going over TB's patent application. In the patent (see Figures 13 and 14) it seems to me that the beams are fixed but can be shaped fairly arbitrarily. It is somewhat similar to a sectorized P-MP wireless system, except that the wireless system would probably have the capability to have wider beams. Do you have a rough idea of the cost of the hardware for implementing a hub? TB has never put a number on the cost of its system. TB claims that it will not need roof rights. Yet, if it intends to blanket a cell with multiple beams, how could it possibly avoid roof rights? Window rights over an entire building floor would be even more expensive. Best regards, Bernard Levy
