Can anyone comment on ADSL and how it will affect USRF's position with potential business clients. I have seen regular ISPs in Canada offer ADSL 5 times as fast as T1 speeds for about CAD$700. I see this as affecting their revenue stream does anyone care to comment? Remember his is in Canadian $... Is this available in the U.S.?

USRF's recent news release and stance for business seemed ultimately to be servicing the more lucrative business market segment of the ISP industry. This would definitely put them at a severe disadvantage with this other technology.

I know some people out there would say the main difference would be that USRF is not based on a hardwire. Does anyone out there know how many businesses out there have a need for fully wireless T1 access as opposed to regular hardwire T1?

I don't know how prevalent ADSL is in the U.S. but it's just something I saw and I'm pretty sure that whatever is in Canada is either already in the U.S. or will be there very very soon. This just changes the perspective of USRF's pricing for the business segment. Are cable modems available in the U.S.? In Canada we can get 100 times the speed of regular dial-up for CAD$40 per month.

I was surfing and saw that PSI net is also offering wireless service.. I beleive in florida???

I guess any replies to this post will show those knowlegable and those who are doing due diligence.
