Stu Feldman, who invented "make" and who was my boss at Bellcore, had a wonderful saying for people like "analyst authors" of such reports: "Bright, but deeply ignorant." It is true that existing operators *could* do something with 802.11 (as in "it violates no known laws of physics," although it would strain the Heizenbell Incredulity Principle - no phone company and a technically decent idea can coexist near each other for very long). But when she gets to that part about "must integrate with the existing cellular network", the suppressed chortles become guffaws. cheers, -mo
