>Wireline does not automatically equal = Wired Telephony.. That's correct. I was referring to the medium of wire lines. Telephony is one application of the wire. The medium is a natural monopoly. It is only a duopoly in many areas because the FCC, at one point in the distant past, banned telephone companies from owning the local CATV company, except in rural areas. Telephony the application can make use of different media; it does not use much bandwidth, so it can run over wire, coax, glass, or radio. -- Fred Goldstein k1io fgoldstein "at" ionary.com ionary Consulting http://www.ionary.com/ +1 617 795 2701 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
