Elmat, the humor and mutual jousting of wireless success and DSL death notwithstanding, when you refer to either family of technologies (wireless for all of its history and future directions being far larger than DSL, and the more extensible of the two technology families) it would be helpful if you specified the venue, whether you are referring to residential, or commercial. Such as, in: "I am of the idea that fixed Wireless will not grow very much." Fixed wireless will rise in commercial applications for all three; backup, primary (default) and niche situations, regardless of what it does in the residential space. Wireless IEEE 802.x LANs, likewise, are on the rise in commercial. And some wireless LANs cover campuses and surrounding communities, as well. Looking at DSL, for SOHOs and other professional uses (even in larger enterprises, for niche apps) DSL acceptance will also be on the rise. Not only for the stereotypical telecommuter and power surfer, but in other commercial applications as well, such as AutoTellerMachines, remote kiosks, drive in windows, LOTTO stands, big-brother apps, and so on, especially when the Incumbents begin to introduce symmetrical flavors of the ilk. Net-Net, IMO, you cannot rightfully generalize about either family of technologies, no matter how much fun we're having here, at times. FAC
