The discussion on wireless technologies has brought out many excellent
points of view. A crucial area that has been discussed relates to
questions about reliability and long term scalability of wireless
technologies. In that regard I can only wonder if more effort is being
applied to suppressing wireless technologies because of the resulting
loss of capital expenditures and profits derived from maintaining and
building obsolete infrastructure.

Satellite and radio wave technologies used to deploy weapons indicates
that there may be a higher level of wireless development than is being
made available to the public and/or the commercial markets. It is also
notable that AT&T is/was the only telco to launch a digital braodcast
satellite(s) and one of - if not the the only telco to withstain from
joining the suit the RBOC's filed against the use of Internet phone
technology. Wireless technologies may be facing the same plight and
require more advocacy, since the implications related to public Internet
access are not as obvious as those related to the use of Internet phone
technology.
