Hi Caxton, certainly anxious to hear Mr. Gilder's reply but here's my thought: WLL Internet access is more likely to become a viable alternative with the fixed wireless boys: Teligent, WinStar, ARTS. Like all the wireless participants, they obviously avoid the 'dig a trench or buy into Ma Bell's wire' problem. But equally important, their spectrum slice allows them to pack beaucoup de bandwidth. Check 'em out. Regards, Mike Doyle

Wireless has an excellent chance of becoming better than other last mile technologies; Qualcomm's pdQ will offer T-1 rate access in any CDMA area. Affording mobility but using scarcer and more contested spectrum than cable modems and DSL, wireless will be more expensive. Microwave T-1 links from Teligent, Nextlink, and Winstar will be cheaper and better than new wireline links in hundreds of thousands of business buildings.
