Hi, Peter - This is an interesting subject. I have been wondering about the 3G/4G concepts, and whether they haven't migrated into areas that are better served by MMDS. There seems to be some over-reaching by 3G/4G advocates. I can see a good case for a limited feature set using telephony, but the handset size alone, IMO, limits what you would want to do. OTOH, those users who want to use a notebook, laptop, or even a palm-sized device, might be better served with MMDS. What's going on here? Is the FCC going to reallocate spectrum to the detriment of MMDS? How are companies supposed to make viable plans, when the spectrum 'rug' may be pulled out from under them? Regards, Jim
