Dragonfly: Regarding terrestrial wireless access in Reno, both Las Vegas and Reno (and in fact all the big cities in desert areas of the South West) are ideal for broadband wireless because of the low rain and lack of vegetation. An added attraction of the big Nevada cities is the possibility of delivering video programming for hotel guests. During the LMDS auction last March, Las Vegas was one of the most sought after licenses. If I remember correctly, it was won by a group financed by Mario Gabelli. So, your perception is the reverse of what it should be: satellites for Alaska and sparsely populated areas, terrestrial wireless for cities (even in the middle of deserts). Best regards, Bernard Levy
