No kidding. In the last month my Nextel went from 4 bars in all places to 0-1 bar at most times now. Something bad is going on. And I am way out in the sticks. Should be less interference. Brian Rohrbacher Matt Larsen - Lists wrote: Brian, I'm sure that there are a lot of upgrades going

Brian, I'm sure that there are a lot of upgrades going on in urban areas, but it will take a while before they hit many rural markets. In the meantime, all these folks that are going to try downloading videos and music to their phones will put exponentially higher loads on the cellular data

I wouldn't worry too much about FiberTower. They did gross revenue of $883,000 the first half of this year, while at the same time losing over $9M in the same time period. Further, in urban markets cellular carriers are on average paying less than $150 per T1. In some outer parts of our market

Matt, The cellular folks have been quietly improving their data network capability. Their biggest problem to date was the T1 backhauls from the tower sites. These were already loaded with voice traffic. In many markets there are aggressive programs underway to replace all the T1's with lice

Check back in with us in a year and let us know how that cell data card is working. If you thought the oversubscription on dialup lines was bad, wait until more people get on the cellular data networks. Talk about something that will not scale when the data hits it - wow. Matt Larsen [EMAIL
