This is all desperate FUD. The product works, it's rolling out. It's priced reasonably. In fact, when it gets here soon in Boston, I'll be dropping 2 DSL lines (home and office) and dropping the goofy web browser. I'll be saving a ton of money. Try trading stocks on a telephone browser. Maybe that's why certain unnamed shorts are losing their shirts. DSL is supposed to give me faster speed. WHEN I can get through to VZ, they keep telling me I should be getting close to what I paid for which is 1.6 MB. Instead I get between 200-400 kbs. I'll take R2 wireless any day over that. MCOM has alliances with many supplies and announced today Novatel card. As far as rights of way and permits, much easier to get this then a big cell tower. It's being done and the network is rolling out. Shows that some people don't even read the releases. They just make up "facts". THIS is all factual. No need to try to scare up shares just because someone is overloaded on the short side.
