Hi, Iml - Thanks for the link. From the article -

'It will turn an AT&T Wireless mobile phone into a cordless phone when a caller walks into her house, if that house is also equipped with an AT&T fixed wireless system. When that happens, AT&T will finally have the ultimate bundled product -- and the ultimate way for its wireless technology to bypass the wired world.

The evolution from old infrastructure to new, and the integration of mobile telephony into the emergent structure, is clearer at T than anywhere else.

El Mat's content providers are waiting in the wings, and the means to greatly increase the data transmission rates on T's licensed PCS bands are available now.

If T's management can stay the course, they can use their wireless transmission capability to maintain revenues and market share; the present mix of wired and wireless transmission, IMO, is a blessing in disguise: the wired network that now exists is the predecessor to FTTH, which will, in time, displace almost everything else.

Watching the T thread, as the price drops on T's stock, and watching T's management as they try to move to the future, dogged by a huge crowd of naysayers, has been fascinating.

Potentially, T has it "more right" than anyone else.

Regards,

Jim

1m1, who do you think will provide the infrastructure for T's fixed wireless broadband?
