Van, <<"I can put one or two or three cells into service, market it, and then put on another one or two or three cells. I can conserve capital and build strategically">> It is my understanding that the Boston system follows more of an LMDS architecture (consisting of several cells or tower sites) instead of the traditional MMDS design (a single transmitter tower). For MMDS frequencies, these cells are relatively less expensive to build and can be located much farther apart than LMDS. This cellular approach for fixed wireless broadband services also offers many significant advantages. And, since not all cells have to be turned on at the same time, it allows for marketing to be concentrated in the service area of a cell before having to put the next cell into service. Did you notice AT&T, WorldCom and GTE are out of the LMDS auction (according to MultiChannel News)? Do you think that increases the chances that any of them could take notice of MMDS and/or CAI? Z
