< Winstar less capital intensive > I've done a little more reading on wcii and see its ambitions are "grounded" in wireless. However I don't see evidence that it is less capital intensive - although I haven't toted up the various fiber miles, etc, wcii has substantially more debt and is taking on more - I'm looking at 1.3b (lt debt) and add on the purchase money financing from Lucent for another $2b over the next five years. The scale and reach of wcii's network may eclipse that of espi; due for completion to the big 40 at end of '99, is there a model as to how much revenues can be garnered from a city, once ntwk is functional?
