Hi James: Concerning LMDS signals bouncing off buildings, the Bellcore study conducted in Brooklyn showed this does not help. The key variable is the location of the receiver antenna off the ground. The probability of coverage was only 70% for antennas located 4m above the ground, and was much higher for antennas at 10m. Of course, I expect that customers living in tall buildings in Manhattan will get excellent service. Note that there exists a solution for hard to reach areas, which involves the use of repeaters, but this will drive up the infrastructure costs. Best regards, Bernard Levy
