What the connection? (are talking about 3G ?) Yes...then I deleted that post.<g> As I see it, this would spell trouble for cable companies with their heavy debt loads. Also is it any wonder we are not getting a lot of digging up for optical lines to homes? Too big of a risk considering what wireless technologies could do down the road, whether it is cdma or some other....but for now it looks like QCOM to me. I just want to see the new services to get wireless connections faster than the regular dial up services. Once that happens, fewer people will even need a home line..and just go wireless for telephone and internet. That could be when things get bad for the baby bells. How long does this take to unfold? Who knows. Does it not look inevitable? Maybe it will be a totally different technology but those ground lines (cable and telephone) should be mostly useless in local networks at some point in the coming years. btw--i have not followed the deployment schedules closely ...just looking at the trend ahead. jmho.
