LOL. Um, yes, that'll be wh...Nailed to my head? LOL. Um, yes, that'll be why I have been so involved in wireless networks then for over a decade!!<br /><br />1) I never ever use the term last mile because I am a consumer, as is everyone else in this country 2) I think wireless should be ubiquitous e.g. a cloud so that anyone can have access wherever they are on the device they choose because the age of the desktop is coming to an end 3) too many people in this country believe wireless broadband is sufficient for us to progress and compete where their definition of next gen is wifi, or worse, mobile broadband with its limited capacity. However, you have to put wi-fi in the first inch or you deprive the vast majority of people being able to connect over a universal standard protocol that is now generally built into their devices.<br /><br />We need both fibre and wireless, hence the term FiWi Pie. But not one at the exclusion of the other.<br /><br />The less encouragement to pursue such a short-sighted path from those in the know the better.

I don't agree that wireless is for the "last few" and FiWi as you keep raving about is nothing new. what do you thing our gigabit terminations run down, cat5? .<br /><br />Wireless, and i don't mean wifi where you fatally think whole areas should have general access wifi clouds, is a very fast maturing technology with speeds well in excess of the "up to 40Mbps" of VDSL terminated Fibre available now, give it a couple of years and this will no doubt double or more.. It is not a "last mile" technology either, it is a last 10-20 Mile technology as it is in many other countries such as the U.S. . Why this country has such a ignorance over the benefits of Fixed wireless baffles me.. It is even seemingly scared of it!.<br /><br />BillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11474625567670047306noreply@blogger.com
