So, my prediction is we had the cost/performance of memory drop by a factor of 100,000 in the last 20 years and now the improvement will be in cost/per bit delivery via wireless (we might get fiber to the home, but nobody wants to be tied down... the "last few feet" will probably be wireless and I suspect "the last mile" might eventually be won in the wireless market as the cost of laying cable is very high... so cable will connect the local towers in neighborhoods... but wireless will connect the neighborhoods. And AT&T Wireless was THERE with a solution that worked for both voice and data. Management decided that the time was not right and canned the project after only a few months of operations. How many more false starts will we see before a wireless local loop for both voice and data to fixed locations develops? Robert
