Don't necessarily look to third, fourth and fifth carriers to start doing competitive local calls on their own network in the short-term, at least with large area coverage. I can't speak for our plans (I don't know what they are ;-)), but it doesn't take much to see that the infrastructure and investment required to carry local calls is _huge_. Anyone care to see another couple of organisations digging up the roads, stringing more wire from telephone poles or putting up another set of mobile-phone-like radio towers? --- Dr Paul Brooks (PB94) | Lvl 11, 45 Clarence St. Sydney NSW 2000 Internet Engineering | Ph. +61 2 290 9000 Fax. +61 2 290 9092 Global One Communications | P a u l .
