Jerm join:2000-04-10 Richland, WA	Reasons to be leery... There are already commercial WLAN companies making gear that use frequencies below 1Ghz. Trango for example has 900mhz gear that will do 3mbps through trees, houses, etc. But the laws of physics still apply. Unless they found a new modulation scheme or the holy grail of wireless tech, I don't see how 40Mbps @ 15 miles is going to work (unless they're eating a LOT more spectrum then they claim). And the problem with this being a "dual use" technology is scalability. Sure it will play nice when you only have a few of these things. But get a few thousand of these things in one area and it would drown out the "original" owner of the spectrum.

Then again...I also kind of wonder what the health implications of the technology we have in use today are... Not being a pessimist, just wondering what we're doing to ourselves with all our wonderful technology... -- Join the Theuth.com Distributed Computing Team!»distributed.theuth.com/deep_thought.htm
