Yep. Two way MMDS..................................... multichannel.com Home Weekly Edition Top Stories Through The Wire Programming Pay Per View Marketing International Op-Ed Broadband Week Top Stories Industry Events People Associations Operators Networks Vendors Services Subscribe Advertise Editorial Calendar Customer Service Masthead Contact Us Feedback September 18, 1998 FCC Approves Two-Way Data for MMDS Washington -- The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to allow wireless cable operators to offer high-speed, two-way data services, including Internet access, as a competitive alternative to cable operators. FCC officials said the expanded authority will permit wireless cable operators to offer Internet access at speeds 100 times faster than ISDN (integrated services digital network), at 1.3 megabits per second, which is provided by some telephone companies. Andrew Kreig, president of the Wireless Communications Association International (WCA), said the FCC had "lifted the most significant barrier" facing his industry in its effort to provide a "clamoring" public with high-speed data access. The FCC said wireless operators could combine 6-megahertz channels to create superchannels for broadband purposes. The FCC rules will allow wireless operators to use their entire spectrum for data, meaning that they may cease video operations. FCC commissioner Susan Ness said the agency's action "should reinvigorate the wireless cable business." Walter Ciciora, a cable consultant, said cable operators will have a technical advantage over wireless access to the Internet because cable systems are able to subdivide nodes to ensure that data rates do not diminish as more and more subscribers log on to the network. - 9/17/98
