"Blue Horizon was partnering with GTE for Silicon Valley in May 2006 for a: PROPOSAL FOR A REGIONAL BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORK FOR SILICON VALLEY."
It was published in the news last summer that a consortium including Cisco, and 2 other big telecoms would install a "free" wireless network in Silcon Valley.
I just got back from FLA. 2wks. I am inspired seeing 5 MetroPCS locations around St. Pete and Orlando area. 1. Shows that a customer "enabling" business model can succeed in the US against the big wireless. 2. MetrotelPCS(Globetel) has unlimited expansion capabilities.
What I mean by customer "enabling" is MetroPCS sells monthly prepaid unlimited call wireless as opposed to yearly contracted minutes plans with credit check. Poor folks now have a mobile unlimited primary phone with no credit checks. MetrotelPCS(Globetel) has just opened several locations selling unlimited overseas calling plans @ $19.99/ month.
