Did someone say LMDS? Monday August 24, 10:38 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Communications Industry Researchers, Inc. Broadband Wireless and Satellite Market to Thrive on Niche Markets, Says 'Broadband Unwired' Report CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- By the Year 2005 broadband wireless technology will serve more than 10 million customers worldwide, while broadband satellite technology will serve almost eight million customers. So says, BROADBAND UNWIRED: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN LMDS, HIGH-SPEED FIXED WIRELESS AND BROADBAND SATELLITES, a new report from Communications Industry Researchers, Inc., (CIR), a market research and consulting firm based here. However, the report goes on to warn that success in non-wireline broadband technology will require some careful targeting of market niches. According to Lawrence Gasman, President of CIR, some companies are becoming dazzled by sexy new technologies such as LMDS or broadband LEOs (Low Earth Orbiting Satellites), and are not paying enough attention to where these new high-speed unwired technologies can generate new business revenues. ''We believe that broadband satellite and wireless technology is very much a technology of the gaps,'' says CIR's Gasman. ''Satellite and wireless will never be a serious contender where broadband wireline technology proves in. But the places where wireline won't work are common enough to make broadband unwired solutions quite viable.'' BROADBAND UNWIRED: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN LMDS, HIGH-SPEED FIXED WIRELESS AND BROADBAND SATELLITES sees major opportunities for LMDS and new satellite systems, such as Teledesic and Skybridge, in rural Internet access, telemedicine, distance learning, ''desert start'' industrial and commercial developments, and rapid infrastructure deployment in developing nations. In addition to providing a penetrating analysis of the market drivers and opportunities for broadband satellite and wireless technology both in the U.S. and overseas, BROADBAND UNWIRED contains detailed ten-year forecasts of both CPE and network infrastructure markets, as well as in-depth profiles of all major vendors selling broadband wireless and satellite equipment including CPE, cell site equipment, other microwave radios and even the broadband satellites themselves. The report also profiles the leading service providers including both the emerging providers of high-speed wireless alternatives -- companies such as WNP, Winstar and Teligent -- and broadband satellite projects, such as those planned by Hughes and Alcatel. The Table of Contents and Executive Summary for BROADBAND UNWIRED: NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN LMDS, HIGH-SPEED FIXED WIRELESS AND BROADBAND SATELLITES are available at CIR's Web site (http://www.cir-inc.com). The report is priced at $4,000.00. It is also available in Word and PDF formats at an additional charge. Further details of this study can be obtained from Robert Nolan at 617-923-7611 or rob@cir-inc.com. Members of the press can also obtain a full executive summary from Mr. Nolan.

SB and all - This doesn't look good as we've got ? months to go before the next earnings and heaven knows what in terms of news from all over the world that the market is not going to like for months to come. Sad to say it but once we've broken $30 and we close there then there is nothing to stop us falling to $10. The shorts will smell blood here and this time they know there is no buy out to save us and they will sell us all the way to single digits. No-one is goin to believe rumours any more and BR has made it clear that he's not selling and so what is the point of staying in? Its been a fun ride from here to $47 and back again but this can turn into a real disaster with nothing to look forward to. Just MHO. BTW the one that used to knock WCII for months did not win. He didn't know of all the mess that the world markets were going to get into and at no time did he say that we are entering a nsty bear market. Not much consolation but there you are. I don't know what happened to SW but if he bailed he was one of the lucky ones. Very sad day, Regards, L
