A wireless company like TGNT or WCII would allow customers in the last mile to link up to the huge fiber pipes WCOM possesses at very high speeds, obviously important for data applications.

Yeah, the local presence is great, and they'll take market share away from ILECs and get good revenue growth there, but a wireless company would be the last piece of the puzzle, in my humble opinion.

Wcom has by far the best local last mile access of any telco other than the incumbant Rbocs (I'm including GTE in this group). It is a fundamental part of its story. Together with Uunet.

Further Wcom's last mile access is national, and it is fiber based cream skimming.

You are right. The person you responed to obviously doesn't know much about Wcom.
