<<<Below are the kind numbers I like to see in a sectors, that I feel will change how we live, work and play. Broadband and wireless are going to take the internet in a whole new direction.>>> Even those high figures may be an underestimate as long as this economy keeps rolling along. About 5 years ago I was buying and fixing MBZ's and about 1/2 had car phone antennas. Never got the complete phone though because the owner kept it(G). It may have been a status thing then, but today its become a necessity for two of my relatives to have beepers, which is a bit inconvenient ( to chase down a phone and return the call). Two-way Dick Tracy radio/TV coming soon now (hehe) Msft is now moving strong in the wireless arena with new software so I guess a good way to participate it with Msft stock. . Good luck with the Cmgi Sig

There are so many participants in these fields it's really hard to pick the big winner. MSFT is a possibility but may need this to replace the thinning out of the center of the computing market (desk top PC's) that I see coming. Any ideas about the probable winners long term? Wireless likely will be narrow bandwidth for quite a while, so perhaps CTXS has a chance. I use @Home, and the extra bandwidth hasn't changed the way I use the internet, though the increased speed and reduced frustration has increased the quantity of my usage. When enough people get something similar the quality of offerings to consumers will change also.
