[Premium-Rx] communication future ??

[Steve Stutman]

Depends on the sociology of deployment of 802.11 and successors.

If every other house in an MSA had a wireless something XCVR, then 
cellphones would be mostly "wireless" (I prefer Radio) VOIP or similar. 
In 1989, Moto and others tried something similar; was termed CT2 then.

Obviously, the people who own the existing spectrum and systems for your 
neighbors' belt jewelry would rather this doesn't happen. Maybe our 
government, with its tight-fisted spending, will not build out the 
"wireless Net" along highways and boonies. Maybe private sector picks 
up;  might be that a clever lawyer prevents this.

"Cellular" ants can, as you know, be made to look like trees, gaslamps 
etc. So tower extinction depends largely on the lawyers and accountants 
and future network access and topology.

Then again maybe someone puts up some sats with bigs ants in geosynch orbit.

I also prefer HF.
