As i stated in an earlier post we will sponsor wimax university certification for people involved with our firm and also we would offer the course to you .

There is not reason other than tradition that we should continue to work in offices the way most people do and I think that availability and cost of real estate as well as increasingly insane traffic will open the door to a more mobile workforce.

The quality of life is just so much better for folks who can work where they want to work – as well as the easing the employers office space costs.

while i have you here ,we are planning a fiber ring in a couple of regions coming right up and with these rings we will use wimax to fill in to give full coverage to areas.As with our phone convo the kids who will be the tech people of tomorrow want a mobile solution.Even the farmer working on his tractor in the field would love to have access to the internet while working the fields to check the commodities markets or the tourists areas with customers able to check there email while out fishing .This is the world we are starting to live in and its going to get much more mobile no matter how we think.

I just got into MN a couple of hours ago – but I had to say darn about you not being able to come to the conference. I was looking forward to meeting you in person – but I know you are very busy these days.
