I've been lurking on this thread for a while. Can you or anyone mention what kind of wireless bandwidth might be achievable in the last mile? I'm familiar with wireless LANs running about 2MB. What levels are achievable on a mass basis?

Wireless is great, but does it have the bandwidth? Your comments on wireless are on target. However, what about the bandwidth requirements? ADSL and DOCSIS is raising the bandwidth bar from 28.8kbps to at least 1Mbps. What wireless technology is going to support large numbers of end users with bandwidths of this size? Maybe a bandwidth of 384kps is sufficient if its symmetrical but is this too much to expect from wireless? These are critical questions in my opinion. If you have any answers or partial answers, I would love to hear them.
