Laying down a lot of fiber can become like fiber-sweden, more fiber is cut off than is laid down when digging that one additional ditch. (the solution was to have any fiber laid down with an alarm on top of it, really smart and patented) Ilmarinen Well, additionally they figured out that there were not enough ditch digger crews in sweden to lay down that fiber, and even if that would have been possible, there would not have been enough crews to connect those fibers. Now they are concentrating on how many mast-crews they have to find to become the-best-in-the-world with the most WCDMA masts in any global empty swedish forest.(98% coverage demand) Well-well, nothing like the hilarious thing they come up with in terms of digitalizing the terrestrial digital TV network, great to be a neighbor, always a lot to learn and avoid. (Some say they import a lot of cuckoo stuff from London and Financial Times, but that seem to be concentrated to Stockholm??)

Oh, I'm sorry Rob. Usually I am too verbose and cut out information clearly obvious to everyone. Didn't realize you had a pulse. Something I don't understand though. I use WiLan. Qcom expects to include it with future chipsets(which will be great since the current Harris/Intersil Prism chipset sucks power in ways similar to a hard drive that never spins down). I like WiLan. Will it take over the internet? Course not. Here is why. High bandwidth is still expensive to connect remote base stations to the internet. Web surfing doesn't need it. Streaming video using Microsoft Media and RealNetworks RealOne player clearly do not need more than a 256kb connection for streaming. MP3's take more time to transfer than download. You do realize uncompressed CD audio uses just under 45kb/sec? A T1 line costs at least $400 a month depending on its span as it requires a repeater in the pair every mile and has a peak transfer rate of 1.5mb/sec or 24 voice calls and is currently the only way you can network your base stations together. 24 or 48 voice users paying $50 a month (my bill BTW) can share that line. In WiLanFantasyLand, one person expecting 10mb/sec will be downloading the latest version of Autocad from some Warez site in Brazil on that line while on his cellphone bitching out his WiLan provider asking where the other 9mb/sec are. Sure, you could dig up miles and miles of freshly paved asphault and deploy fiber to all your little base stations on light poles. As for your noose comment, see you in Chapter 11. Wave to the Ricochet folks while you are there. Sad, really. Unlike Ricochet, you know how the story was going to end before you started.
