It looks like I'm about 75ms rtt away from you and at ~1mbps... not
bad for a jaunt through WCG's network which adds about 70ms to the
trip.  My local outgoing connection was 100mbps to AS4323.

DoD Buying Sprint's iDEN Network
Rumored deal could be huge for cable industry

Posted 2005-10-27 13:10:42
User Comcast_Loke
sends in this PCS
Intel Blog story that indicates the Department of Defense will be
buying Sprint's iDEN network as "the first phase of a national
overhaul of its security framework in regards to communication."
The gist is that the government will move much of its wireless
communications onto one encrypted wireless network, and Sprint/Nextel
customers will be issued dual-network CDMA/iDEN handsets, so that as
iDEN becomes restricted, CDMA will take its place. 

The report also claims that in exchange, Sprint will get plenty of
spectrum in the 700  800Mhz bands for mobile Wimax broadband
service. Keep in mind that if true, most of this wouldn't happen until
around 2010, which roughly gels with Wimax analyst timeline predictions.
The report claims the deal won't even be announced until 2007 or 2008.


This move makes this week's news
of a Sprint co-branding wireless deal with Comcast, Time Warner Cable,
and Cox slightly more interesting. The deal would give Sprint priority
access to Wimax spectrum, letting those three cable giants offer
re-branded Wimax to better compete with baby Bell Wimax offerings.


This whole scenario assumes a lot; at the forefront that mobile
Wimax is a solid business model. If Wimax tanks however, the report
seems to indicate that Sprint's deal with Uncle Sam allows them to
instead grab ample 2.5 GHz spectrum, and deploy the most popular
technology at the time (like WiBro). 

Either way, the cable industry would be well positioned for wireless
broadband competition.

Send me a customer, they sign up and pay at least one month's service and 
I'll give you a free month.


Up to 12 per year.  I tell them that if they can send more people than that 
we'll put them on the payroll.

that's even remotely cost effective.

It's not a matter of cost effectiveness.  The ILEC I am partnered
with owns a LARGE area in southern Missouri.  The equipment that is
available is not, yet working well.  I am testing the WaveIP product
right now.  I do not like the way they implemented the system, and
the available throughput is just too low.  The WaveIp and Airspan
products (both) are based on the WiMax chips, so when that becomes
available, they will be able to run the WiMax protocols.  Perhaps
others would like the implementation, but they have shown me NOTHING
that is impressive so far.  I WILL say that I have been able to make
a link, standing on the ground holding the antenna at 20.75 miles
and pulled the same throughput I did standing under the tower.  The
NLOS properties of this band (lower 700MHz) is very impressive, but
the product just plain sucks.

They still don't get it (lets hope none of them ever hires people
like you and me.  THAT's my biggest fear).  They'll want gear

Wellthey hired me.  Does that count?
