Re: If they stop now they are done. Yes, but remember that wireless frequencies are shared among all users, while fiber routes are not. Wireless channels are much more limited than fiber, and the company that wastes them on fixed applications will find itself competing with fiber--but the company that stresses wireless applications will have greater demand in the mobile market.

Sprint is leaning towards using this network as their 4G solution, however from the start it will be geared towards home based users. Laptop cards will probably be the first wireless devices released for Xohm (likely concurrent with launch), followed by cellphones within 24 months. -- я люблю Денди! |
