Good questions:

I don't know about the FCC regulations except there aren't any on this technology, I am phishing phor the artcile right now, but it came out in Sept I think, I definatively ruling that there was no regulation.

As for the largest cell grid...right now it is only about 5 square miles (that is in Santa Fe, and will increase to about 20 square miles as soon as the city council approves the permit, just on hold do to holidays). keep this in mind as well, senior mgmt confirmed less than 30 days ago that they were in negotiations with 50+ ISPs and one of them has a foot print that covers 12 states and 60 cities.

Good questions....lets keep the DD flowing, this one will continue to rock. I have dreams of NASDAQ!!!!!

You have to walk before you can run, BUT NOT EVERYBODY GETS TO PHLY!!!

<<Since they operate on 900MHz or 2400Mhz freq. (same as my cordless phone) Why does my cordless phone need FCC Identification?>>

Now that's an interesting piece of info.

The FCC does regulate those freqs in that they defined what kinds of devices may access them.

They figured that there will never be so many cordless phone running at the same time that the bandwidth would be clogged.

Here comes a new undefined technology that uses the freq constantly and with many users. I expect the FCC will most likely kick the technology off that freq and move it toward an area that would not interfere with local cordless phones, baby monitors, hospital voice systems, etc.

Of course those more robust freqs are already in high demand which is part of the reason why cellphone and other wireless services are pricey.

If that is the case, the cost advantage of this technology may be lost.

Just hypothesising here.

Again, has anyone actually seen this product work? Anyone out there using it? Is it any good?
