- In view of PacTel's (or is that Pac Telesis) recent proposal to
- split it self up to pursue emerging technologies, especially the
- wireless games, it would be interesting to hear about the likely
- future of non-mobile but wireless services encroaching upon the
- existing installed wireplant and it's virtual monopoly on home and
- business service.
-
- Is there sufficient potential bandwidth (for the system as a whole)
- to take over a significant portion of this market?
-
- What are the likely costs and tradeoffs? Can it be competitive?
-
- How will Ma's illegitimate children fight back?
-
- Etc.
