Excerpts from your cite: One of the big forces behind the recent technology bubble was the potential of broadband in the home, a "Jetsons"-like vision of the future wildly championed by gurus such as George Gilder, now driven into obscurity by the collapse of the tech sector. But now some of the promise is actually being realized, as all those young people hunched over their laptops in coffee shops and airports make clear. ... Obviously, Intel agrees. Sean Maloney, general manager of Intel's wireless division, in comments reported in the New York Times, said that growth in wireless communications would be as fast as the Internet expansion of the mid-1990s. "It looks like the Internet in 1994," he said. "The next 10 years will be defined by broadband wireless." In a blow to the fiber-optics sector, he added, "There is no great fiber build-out going on. Some kind of wireless capacity is necessary to reach the last mile."

Intel, AMD plan earlier price cuts, analyst says January 28, 2004 09:57:20 (ET) SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (INTC,Trade) will cut prices on its microprocessors by as much as 35 percent on Monday, two weeks earlier than planned, an analyst for Susquehanna Financial Group said Wednesday. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD,Trade), an Intel rival, will also cut prices on its own line of processors at the same time, analyst Tai Ngyuen said, citing sources within the companies' sales channels. Intel and AMD representatives could not immediately be reached for comment. The price cuts would be timed with the introduction of Intel's new line of Pentium 4 processors for desktop computers. The chips, code-named Prescott, will reach higher speeds than the current generation and have a speedier pathway between the processor and computer memory. Microprocessors are the primary computing engines of personal computers.
