You need to join Caxton in research mode. Your post contained many factual errors; I'm not interested in correcting them because I have nothing to gain by doing so. You think the x-cdma solution is the cheap one? LMAO! 3g is 10 times more expensive (that's right not 10%, 1000%) than 4g and what's worse it doesn't deliver!. I'm not interested in teaching you or converting you - you're wasting your time chasing me through threads. I've already done my research and my money is in play - I won't change my mind (and neither will the capital markets!). Time will prove out my argument. What, you can't wait a couple of years for things to play out?! As for insulting people who post on this thread, I've read this thread and the Q threads for some time and NOBODY matches the Qult for fiction. QUACK! Rob

Rob, read this about WiFi "hotspots". Currently the only economic way to expect WiFi coverage. wirelessnewsfactor.com Where the density of mobiles justifies and a revenue collection is in place, you don't have to worry about your cablemodem provider cruising neighborhoods looking for their RF leaks in the VHF TV band(FCC-mandated primary reason for visiting) or WiLan Access points that violate your customer agreement. If you happen to be sitting near one of the "wireless corridors" in silicon valley, they you can take advantage of this: newsfactor.com Hmm... WiFi "freenets" are only popping up in the top 50 US markets served by Cablemodems and DSL. Outside of the local Mariott Hotel and Starbucks, what could possibly go wrong?

Hmm, I have heard many finnish (and some Nokia) opinions that there are places and situations for copper calble, fiber, wireless this and that, all depending on an open, competitive, and well regulated market. (Adam Smith was too far north of Licensing London to figure out that last thing??) It would, obviously, feel safe, if only one solution would solve everything, instant killer and profit,etc.. 802.11b has some efficient areas of deployment, but obviously not in too crowded (disruptive) and mobile 2.4GHz areas. Ilmarinen Btw, one good result of living in a political system with old(er than) jeffersonial, agrarian, independent traditions, in the middle of the forest, is that everything is not urban nor rural. WLAN has its place in both, although for different reasons and in different ways, but neither one will hopefully be a matter of a quick buck.
