Art: Actually, most wall street companies are probably checking if their disaster recovery systems are working. There will be more activity in that area for a year or two. Good for Sungard Data systems. Arun >>As far as how all this might affect telecommunications, there will be a massive demand to replace facilities lost in Manhattan, and I believe, a pronounced shift to wireless, which requires less initial capital investment than wired facilities. >>

wireless can't replace the high density networks in high rises using incredible bandwidth; wireless did give the FBI the best clues on the terrorists from brave passengers and stewardesses who made calls from the hijacked planes

>>Arun, the second plane hit only 18 minutes after the first one. But still, the question might be asked whether anyone, particularly in an air control tower, monitored a flight that was obviously off course and then reported the suspicious location.<< News is that the planes transponders had been turned off. Air Traffic Control would have essentially lost the flight tags on their screens. Plus you're right it was only 18 minutes later, ATC would have taken several minutes to correlate the news event with the missing aircraft, by then it was too late for any response. Jim
