Elliot, now gon't go getting technical on me. Bernard is much better at these types of questions. WinStar is testing out point to multipoint this quarter in DC. Expect to have it nationwide in 99. Also current technology does allow for reuse of spectrum but I don't know much about it. Technology speaking, I doubt there is much difference between 28 GHz and 38 GHz. Probably biggest difference in WinStars wireless fiber link is high speed data rates in both directions, ie no return by POTS. It's not too hard to make a great case for you to buy WinStar. CEO says company will be worth $11B in one year. Analyst say $11B in two years. Either way it's a long ways from todays just over $1B. Come on over to the WinStar thread if you need convincing. Summary of auction after todays rounds: After Total Discount Block A Licenses $449,955,215 $338,026,790 Block B Licenses $72,052,747 $51,631,171 Total Auction $522,007,962 $389,657,961 No bids so far on 205 A-Block and 18 B-Block licenses. PS These are my calculated values. I believe them to be accurate, but wouldn't guarantee anything.
