I wonder if the equipment will be just for ISP's or could it be used as part of a LAN to give seperate buildings wireless access.

I have a feeling that very soon broadband will be just like mobile phone service. I only hope the coverage is better.

it pretty much kicks the crap out of 3G, and we don't even have 3G yet (at least in the US)
