New inexpensive wireless technologies, unregulated, with very high bandwidth. It's gonna knock the telcos and cable tv companies for a loop (no pun intended). Because it will use a unique unregulated part of the spectrum, it will make a lot of the new spectrum owners wondering if they bought too soon. There is a new networking world coming folks. It will not resemble anything we've seen before. Whoopie!!! Marty Tennant
