Taichi, Let me respond to your question #2. when you do this, the over the air standard will go 1.5 Mb and then be connected to some very high speed internet connection at the main carrier (whoever that is). then there would be no connection to POTS and modems, but a router (like a cicso or 3COM) directly to the net. yes, you could take your digital phone and surf the net. At 1.5 Mbps, it is faster than most office connections today. awhile back, someone posted the average net speeds that people have both at home and in the office. Home was like 33.6 and office was like 200k. My modem today at home is roadrunner and it goes 600k into my house and 150k out. fast enough for any surfing I want to do. If you get to real time video both ways, I suppose that you start to overload it a bit, but by the time that is popular, the DSP technology will allow us to encode real time video on something like 300k bps. Hope this helps a bit.
