So we could luck out and AT&T could do some test installs in small
markets, like Anchorage, like they did with WiMax, but they did a big
public show of patting themselves on the back for bringing WiMax to
small rural markets. Don't see much self-aggrandizement this time
around. I'm thinking they roll out in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, the
big markets, and it trickles down like drips to the bottom seat of a
double-decker outhouse.

I'd rather be a pessimist, and be wrong, then be an optimist, and be
wrong. At least then I didn't get my hopes up.
