Hi, For the record, FCC Chairman Powell's comments on the 70/80/90 GHz proceeding:http://www.fcc.gov/realaudio/mt101603.ram Chairman Powell: I just want to thank the bureau chair. I think this is a very, very innovative item appropriate for a very, very innovative service, and I think another demonstration of both the power of technology and the commitment of the FCC to have a forward-looking technology-driven policy that continues to try to advance and promote advanced, high-speed Internet platforms, and we do so yet again today. We see the promising world unfolding through technology and items like this, and our agency's willingness to tackle these kinds of issues, so my thanks to the chief and the hardworking folks at the bureau. petere

How do you mean that 802.20 has been in field trials . . . the standard is still undergoing changes. Flarion has had field trials of their proprietary system and is helping to guide 802.20 but I don't see how it could be said that anyone has 802.20 in field trials at this point.

A recent article in one of the trade journals says that BroadCom is preparing 802.11n chips that they plan to have out by the end of next year (2004). Unless I'm missing a rapid change in developments, that would be one heck of a jump ahead of the standard effort. Does anyone think that is a positive move? Looks like it is aimed by BroadCom to get out ahead of the race . .. and to heck with whatever disruption is causes.
