Steve- I don't understand Dave Ackermans comments that P-MP equipment is not available. TI had it available over two years ago so did Stanford/HP, so clearly have Hughes and TNGT say they have tested in commerical environment and sent a bill covering usage. Regards, L

Hi Steve: I think that WCII will need to reprogram its hubs for P-MP at some time. The number of roofs which become economically viable increases substantially. Also, the bandwidth allocation features of P-MP are too attractive. I will need to check, but I am under the impression that P-Com's P-MP equipment allows an upgrade of the older P-P equipment without requiring a complete replacement. You are right in noting that from a networking point of view, you can easily have P-P in one city and P-MP in another. Bits are independent of the physical layer transmission system. Best regards, Bernard Levy
