Lance: You are correct in your observation that I generate allot of reaction. I try and provide topical data that others might have some interest in reading. As a result of that data. It sometimes generates considerable debate. I typically defer debate with those that seem "totally uniformed". But, on occasion, I am fooled, and a discussion has already begun, when I find out that the opposing side of the discussion is not really interested in discussion, at all.. Rather, they are interested in some other agenda, which entails trying to discredit the author, instead of discrediting the data. So just as I may provide what you may consider "valuable data". I also reserve the right to defend the integrity of that data, and it's author. The LWIN Yahoo board has been your section of the beach for quite some time. As you outlined in your post. Those of you with more seniority often speak out for the desires of the board as a whole. And hence, since I have respect for you and the other "more senior" participants.. Like Looknleap, etc.. Then it is my desire to create the tranquility that you and the others desire on your section of the beach. You don't need the hastel of the GSTRF revenge seekers, and I don't need the aggravation. After all, the sand is deep, the beach is wide and stretches for miles and miles over here on SI. And it provides me with the "flexibility" to engage in debate if I desire, without worrying what the neighbors will think. So to speak.. So my move over to SI hopefully will allow you and the others to maintain the format and conduct that is desired! I don't want you to think that I decided to pick up my sand pail and shovel and went home in a huff!!.. I just moved down the beach a few hundred yards, where I can play my Rock n' Roll music, and build a proper moat around my sandcastle without upsetting the neighbors. I believe that is being called considerate. By all means you can repost my data on YHOO. No qualificatons. Either in link only format, or Copy and Paste Format. If you would like me to engage in a discussion on YHOO on a given topic. I will be happy to do so. But, will do so only at your request. I hope we can get together on one of your visits to San Diego! Regards, PCSTEL

Skip: One quick note I wanted to make.. You stated over on Yahoo. "What I do believe is that only in fairly specialized situations will LWIN be able to offer all you can eat data." and "The really neat thing about LWIN is that they don't really depend upon data anyway--voice is doing it fine and whatever data goes is just fine and if it doesn't they still have the extra capacity to use on voice." First of all.. Like I have pointed out earlier. Using Salt Lake City as a reference and being conservative that there is no extra capacity for Data Services. Salt Lake City has 15 Mhz. (5 carrier pairs) and covers 1.372 million covered POP's.. Where as Phoenix has 10Mhz (3 carrier pairs) and covers 2.951 million POP's. So the following figures of extra capacity available in a given CricKet market launched are using Salt Lake City as a base line (Voice Only Market). Even though my opinion says that it will support data also.. Fayetteville, AR 28 Mhz Fort Smith, AR 28.7 Mhz Pine Bluff, AR 19.2 Mhz Jonesboro, AR 13.9 Phoenix, AZ (22.25) Mhz Merced, CA 13.3 Mhz Modesto, CA 11.19 Mhz Visalia, CA 11.14 Mhz Denver, CO (14.91) Mhz Ft. Collins, CO 7.66 Mhz Greeley, CO 8.4Mhz Colmbus, GA 28Mhz Macon, GA 27.4 Mhz Bosie,ID 25.9 Mhz Wichita, KS 24.4 Mhz Lincoln, NE 12.8 Mhz Omaha, NE 3.79 Mhz Albuquerque,NM 7.9 Mhz Santa Fe, NM 13.99Mhz Reno, NV 6.16 Mhz Buffalo, NY (0.5233) Mhz Syracuse 9.38 Mhz Dayton (0.613) Mhz Toledo 9.4 Mhz Sandusky, OH 14.1 Mhz Eugene, OR 7.3 Mhz Salem, OR 27.26 Mhz Pittsburgh, PA (14.75) Mhz Spokane, WA 9.86 Mhz Hot Springs, AR 14.4 Mhz Little Rock, AR 15.4 Mhz Tuscon, AZ 6.7 Mhz Charlotte, NC (1.23) Mhz Greensboro,NC 3.16 Mhz Tulsa, OK 8.13 Mhz Chattannoga, TN 11.4 Clarksville, TN 13.6 Mhz Knoxville, TN 9.7 Mhz Memphis 4.32 Mhz Nashville, TN 3.88 Mhz Salt Lake City 0 Mhz Provo, UT 11.4 Mhz. Using these calculations, Chattanooga will have 3 extra carriers. Which jives with the Chattanooga uses 2 sometimes 3 carriers for voice information you got before. Remember.. All of these calculations are BEFORE 1X. But, again. I would prefer to use Phoenix as the voice only 1X base line and call everything over that as available for data in the other markets. If you look at the Cost of Service for Data vs. Voice.. You will find that their is allot more margin in data. PCSTEL
