It's really up to the group.....
I still don't like it though. I'm trying to think much further down the
road.
Those at the FCC who are up on these issues seem to acknowledge that
broadband wireless is growing much faster than anyone thought it could. And
that it's one of the most efficiently used bands there is (many devices per
square mile all doing custom work for anyone that wants them!!!).
It's that very success that's hurting more and more operators though. The
manufactures and the standards bodies aren't keeping pace with the changing
market place. And in a way, we're not either. I'm certainly not interested
in taking out what I've already got on the air.... Not for a few more years
anyway.
Again, I'm trying to look 5 to 10 years down the road. AND we're NOT
talking to the FCC with these documents. We're talking to congress.....

Could you say something that looks a bit like this:
3650 is unlikely to be a wide-spread last mile distribution spectrum
because
manufacturers are unlikely to develop an array cost-effective end user
solutions for only 50 mhz of contiguous spectrum. Instead, it will
effectively become a middle mile, with single point solutions adapted from
other licensed or unlicensed spectrum, effectively becoming backbone and
infrastructure, rather than last mile distribution. While an important
asset in the hands of providers, it, in itself, is not possible to be that
ubitquitous last mile.
Does that perspective seem accurate and more diplomatic?

Understood. But it is only 50 mhz. How much is itfs? How much is mmds?
How much was the new 5.4 gig band?
Part of what we're looking for is the WHOLE TV band.
I remember Patrick saying that none of you manufacturers were at all
excited
about 3650 because there just wasn't enough spectrum there to make it
useful! My how times change. grin.
Your point is well taken though. What would you suggest as an
alternative?
What are other people's thoughts?
thanks,
