Hi, Michael - I guess I misstated my point - I expected fixed wireless to try to take advantage in the slow realization of cable and DSL - I was expecting a footrace in urban areas, and concurrently, an effort to reach rural areas. But looking at the LMDS and MMDS markets as a whole, the rate of market penetration has been slow, with emphasis on the enterprise market, as opposed to the consumer, especially considering that the spectrum was captured. I'm not writing off fixed wireless, but I think it's fair to say that the buildout has been slow. Your point about Sprint is well taken. They are now progressing rapidly, especially since the MCI divorce. Perhaps their rapid buildout will get others moving, too. Regards, Jim
