You have no point, you have no target, you have no knowledge to speak of.
You are a serial spewer of hype and "disinformatzia."

Are you still advising people on usenet (like you were two years ago) NOT to
buy HDTV sets, that you would have something better in a few months?  (What?
2K? 4K?)  And, what ever became of that "something better?"  Does it involve
urban buses?

Well the one I am talking about could be the backhaul for a Wi-Fi
metro-spot if that is what they call it. One friend wants to use it to
backhaul from APs on 600 buildings in Manhattan so I think my point is
on target. I am not arguing that Wi-Fi by itself can supplant cable and
satellite. But wireless can.
