Well ALVR is having problems closing above the $10 level. It seems I may be able to pick some extra shares around $9.<g> The 9 month loss is already $0.14 which is the estimated loss for the year. If that comes to be true the December Q should compare favorably with 2002 when the loss was $0.07 The estimates for the coming year is for ALVR to be in the black around $0.25 It still seems that WiMAX will turn out to be a winner "technology" over the next several years. Some people feel that WiMAX has the potential to usher in a "Wireless Broadband Revolution" similar to the "PC Revolution" that Intel helped to develop.<g> ALVR will probably be the first company out with WiMAX gear built to the design of INTL's chips and it will have a leadership position. According to S.Maloney, general manager of Intel’s Communication Group,"The next 10 years will see broadband wireless making huge steps towards ubiquity, with the number of public and private Wi-Fi access points rising from 8m to 700m and WiMAX becoming the key technology for backhaul and long distance wireless communication". According to him 2004 will be the breakthrough year for WiMAX, with the Asian manufacturers gearing up for mass production. "Recently we have seen first 802.16a products appearing from companies like Airspan, and clear WiMAX roadmaps from formerly proprietary vendors such as Alvarion and Proxim". Some people think that Wi-Fi is the "last mile" wireless solution, but it wasn't designed for that and probably it would not be feasable unless they link some outdoors hot spots together. On the other hand WiMax is better suited for that job.<g> Bernard
