Popular 'speed'/building is Ethernet speed. Why anyone, in his sane mind, would need 34 MBit/s -a bundle of 16x2Mbit/s developed to interconnect telephone switches- in a building. People have Ethernet cards in their computers and Ethernet jacks in their walls. They don't have SONET/SDH rates cards.

It -indeed- interesting to see if the popular speed per building is E-3 or n*E-1. I'm going to look at it.

Hi, Peter - LMDS. Aaaarrghh! :( What do you think? Is MMDS dead, dying, or "...just sleeping?" What killed OFDM (802.11x - .16 excepted)? Good grief, I remember figures like 80% penetration rates in urban environments. Was it expense? Complexity? Couldn't the capacity increase provide a path to profitability? Is it, too, "...just sleeping...?" Or was it a "death of a thousand cuts"? At least LMDS had a short, uninspiring life, such as it was. Regards, Jim
