If you did not have your head so deeply in wireless you would know that big portion of current data services come from IP/ATM, Frame Relay for corporate customers ) b/c Pronto just started year ago and is tareting retail. Again it is your theory that SBC subsidize DSL, and as it is typical for your instead listen to SBC conf.call and based your judgment on facts you like to cite convenient for your article form press. It looks to me like Cramer's Street.com or CNBC where they like to twist facts for their own agenda.Look at Qwest, how they data including DSL are booming, and they do not have to much wireless. Wireless can not bring sufficinet bandwidth and will not be used by big corporate customers with huge flow of data, etc. Fixed wireless for homes and small business, yes, but still it based on fixed transport and only "last mile will be wireless. Wireless is great and has its own application.But is not universal. I did not declare war against wireless, b/c i realize its applcation. You on the other hand,(b/c you profesional involvement) hate almost everything what can compeate with wirelss. That it about sporting. Now about LMDS.
