Bernard, Any comments on this Lucent announcement. Can we jump to the positive conclusion that this technology may boost WCII's wireless efficiencies in the future, or conversely, is WCII building a huge network that will be obsolete on arrival. Appreciate your comments. Regards, Brian

very interesting. I've heard of attempts to exploit the spatial axis in wireless and am also very much looking forward to critical technical input from Bernard and others. ArrayCom in the Bay area has been into "space division multiple access" for mobile for a good while. Seems VERY favorable for this field: from bell-labs.com "easily implementable version of the BLAST technique can achieve a theoretical spectral efficiency of 36 bps/Hz, as compared to the full-blown BLAST ideal of 71 bps/Hz" This is phenomenol in "easily" allowing close to an equivalent of an OC-96 (4.8Gbps) link. WOW! IMO - "so long" DSL/cable as delivery methods for any bandwidth-needy, LOS-capable infrastructure.
