An excellent, well-written, article entitled "Hurry Up and Wait" on the problems of Cable and xDSL modems in bringing speed to the last mile. I don't have much technical expertise but I learned quite a bit from this article. Ken planetit.com

Frank and others: I would like to pick your brains on a technical glitch that seems to affect Winstar's wireless deployment in Boston. Several customers seem to be afflicted by sudden cutoffs in phone calls. Some of the regulars on the Winstar thread have heard that it might be due to ''wireless links being too short.'' Obviously, the dropped calls suggest a problem with the overhead signaling on the wireless links (which are still point to point in Boston). Do you know if the standard T1 frame structure is used for wireless T1, and if yes, what could create the dropped calls? One oddity is that the problems seem to occur only in Boston, so human factors cannot be ruled out. Best regards, Bernard Levy
