All, An interesting wireless article from Media Central, thanks to Zorro at the CAWS thread, titled "Wireless Crossroads: Digital, Data and Telephony" mediacentral.com The following part of the article is particularly reminiscent of one of Ray Jensen's lessons given here last fall: --- "Atlanta is the most challenging terrain of all five of those markets," admitted Kevin Doyle, BellSouth's spokesman. "The other ones are flat. You have trees, and New Orleans does have nice big oak trees and some pretty significant foliage, but nothing like Atlanta. The trees here are denser, taller and there are hills to go with them." --- Here's a snippet of the intro, below. Enjoy, and Regards, Frank C. ============================== Wireless Crossroads: Digital, Data and Telephony Different companies take different paths in search of profitability By Jim Barthold The wireless industry has come to yet another fork in its torturous road. One sign leads to video, with smaller paths going off to analog or digital. Another sign encourages high-speed data delivery. And yet a third sign, for a road still being paved, suggests telephony. Where to go?

OFF TOPIC : Great post regarding your grandpa and I think he would appreciate you including him in your comments. My grandpa led me to be a great fisherman. He used to get all the cane poles that people gave him when they got their carpets and they where as thick as a baseball bat and we went fishing with them.. They were about 12 feet long or better and he tied on a line that was like a clothesline to it and put a big chub on it. He would take the pole and throw it in the water. When a big fish would hit we would just follow the pole. When it stopped he would pick it up and set the hook and throw it back in the water. We then follow the pole and when the fish was tired he pulled it in. Wow what a great meal and simple way to fish. I'm talking 15 LB to 30 lb fish.. Grandpa's are the best.
