@alphabravo I think this guy is linked to a service, speedchoice, that may be an important bit of information. I don't understand it exactly, but I think that this may be a private internet that they use for communication.

ABOUT SPEEDCHOICE http://www.vxm.com/speedchoiceProfile.html

SpeedChoice A Corporate Profile www.speedchoice.com

Preface: Ordinarily, 21st does not publish corporate background pieces. But we are making an exception with SpeedChoice. With xDSL and cable modems being pitched at consumers and small businesses around the country, it is useful to make a comparison with alternative "data pipe" technologies like Multichannel Multi-point Distribution Service(see accompanying technical article on MMDS).SpeedChoice is representative of what these alternative digital pipe providers will soon be offering in most parts of the USA. It is thus instructive to compare what this company has to offer in terms of products, services and pricing with xDSL or cable modem services. Things are changing fast, and the high speed "converged" access ballgame is far from over. The fact that SpeedChoice is being purchased by Sprint makes this backgrounder all the more interesting. See also the article in this issue,"Digital Television, Exploring Opportunities for Broadcasters" by Scott Kosch. When all these articles are read back to back, an interesting pattern begins to emerge. A lot of money is about to be made some, and lost by many. Vale 's Dolo column in this regard nicely sums it all up. -- Ed.

I. Company Overview SpeedChoice is a high-speed wireless service provider that owns, develops and operates broadband Internet, data and/or video distribution systems in nine major metropolitan markets in the Midwest and Southwestern United States. The Company's "Fiber-in-the-Sky"ÂT local loops connect its customers to the rest of the world using the Internet and other dedicated data communications networks. SpeedChoice's wireless conduits are secure, robust and dedicated connections that use mature radio wave spectrum technology to bring distributed data, Internet and video services directly to customers without having to pass through local carrier networks or pay local exchange carrier tariffs. The SpeedChoice network supports the communications needs of small-to-medium sized businesses, home offices, telecommuters, and even residential consumers at very competitive prices. SpeedChoice's products and services rely on a high-performance, Internet Protocol (IP)-based network that links its multi-gigabit local loop capacity to the global communications marketplace via high-speed national fiber-optic backbones. To ensure high performance and signal quality, the Company's network is monitored proactively 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by a dedicated team in its Network Operations Center near Chicago, IL.

SpeedChoice is America's largest MMDS wireless service provider currently serving over 67,000 subscribers in 9 markets located in the central and southwestern United States. The Company's FCC authorized frequency rights allows SpeedChoice to reach an estimated 11,100,000 households and 592,000 businesses in nine high profile Business Trading Areas (BTA).SpeedChoice customers include residences or businesses located within the 35-mile radius broadcast range and with line of sight to SpeedChoice's transmitters. The SpeedChoice service is ideal for users who need a high-speed data/Internet connection to send and receive information at very high bit rates. Good examples would include customers who work with large, high-density file transfers common in CAD/CAM, medical imaging, high-resolution graphics, remote access /telecommuting scenarios or power users who use the web for research, business transactions or sharing information with other business partners.

SpeedChoice is headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut, and has exclusive rights to MMDS frequencies in major metropolitan areas of Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, New Mexico, Utah and Wisconsin More information on SpeedChoice's products and services is available at www.digitalchoicetv.net or http://www.speedchoice.com SpeedChoice is a wholly owned subsidiary of People's Choice TV Corp.
