Matt,
Great point, that many forget.
For the record, there were several unlicensed products that ahve been
marketed to mobility, such as Alvarion 900Mhz. Does Alvarion 900 mobile
product llow subscribers to maintain state, when switching APs? My
understanding is that a vehichle in motion (at not to high a speed) could
successfully use the service, however, it would infact be a dirty
copnnection break when switching APs, meaning lossing connection with one,
and then searching for the second after connection lsot to first. Is that
correct, Alvarion people?

FYI, when I visited the FCC, they were very specific that Wi-Fi cannot
roam. Wi-Fi users can be nomadic in that as they move from AP to AP the
client is disconnected and then reconnected. True roaming involves
handoffs from node to node like on a cell network. Specifically, a cell
phone actually makes a new connection and initiates the handoff. Wi-Fi
clients are rather dumb and don't have this ability. The difference is
related to maintaining state on any network connections, which is
especially important for VoIP and VPN.

Is your wireless network set up to allow roaming? You can't roam with
fiber....

Although the service is not available yet in my area, it is getting
close
and
reports are it could be available in 2006 - check out this pricing -
the
15Mbps
for $49.95 a month seems like a really good deal and would be tough to
beat,
currently I am using Nstream/MT which gives me about 20Mbps to the
customer
Up to 5 Mbps/2 Mbps $34.95 - $39.95
Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps $44.95 - $49.95
Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps $179.95 - $199.95
