To Drew: Not technologically proficient so no comment on technological basis or pricing of the mobile/WLL vs plain ole WLL. However, a couple of comments otherwise. As you point out the Q must have studied these factors carefully and must have a pretty good knowledge of which makes sense where. And the Q is busy participating with building out plain ole WLL and not insisting on combining WLL with mobile in all cases. This is in the real world now. Why? Could it be that the demand is there and so the Q is supplying the systems? Nortel is also very active in WLL. Is Nortel forcing WLL on unwilling customers. Unlikely, no? So there is a combination of factors which make some situations favorable for WLL. The proof is in the pudding so to speak. Of course I for one enjoy the discussion of which is better - mobile/WLL or plain ole WLL re technologies and costs. Learn from it. But the brute fact is both will be built and the Q will participate in supplying equipment for both. Good, no? Chaz
