[Premium-Rx] communication future ??

Hi Mac!

I have worked in the cellular business for over 20 years and with a top 7
nationwide carrier for the past 7 years. The satellite deal was tried and FAILED
(bankrupt). It just costs to much to have lots of calls on a satellite. Towers
are here to stay. With all of the new wireless technologies coming out now, more
than ever, towers are and will be important to our lifestyle. Some communities
have figured out that towns with great wireless coverage ATTRACT more business,
big homes and with all of that, more tax dollars. Tower are a good thing.

73!
