and business applications that will allow wireless broadband service
offerings to be differentiated from today’s EV-DO and UMTS?

advanced peer to peer “personal broadband applications?

residential, business and government customers?

the digital divide by extending broadband wireless to remote areas and
those under-served by affordable broadband access?
