I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say. Perhaps we 
are having difficulty because of the language and if so I am sorry, 
English is the only tool I can offer. At the same time, where this 
conversation began was whether or not the telecommunications 
infrastructure could be completely replaced. I am stating that this can 
be done right now - not some time in the distant and unclear future. You 
said that this was not possible, it is.

If you would please clarify what you are trying to tell me I would be 
deeply grateful, I apologize for not understanding what you are trying 
to say.

I mentioned Mikrotik as an example of the software that will create 
bonded channels that will allow for very high throughputs. If you are 
aware that you can create wireless links that exceed 100Mbps then we can 
both agree that there is (right now) the capability to carry enormous 
amounts of VoIP sessions at the same time if we willing to use very 
efficient codecs. This also leaves enough capacity to carry data on the 
same link. This isn't something anyone has to wait for, you already have 
it right now.

As to the should anyone wait question, that is something for everyone to 
decide on their own. In three or four months time there will be at least 
two products available that will provide over 100Mbps backhaul with very 
high speed connectivity to the end user if this is something that sounds 
desirable to you.

I have signed binding documents that make it impossible for me to 
release publicly what I know. This is a common thing when businesses 
develop a product and do not wish to make the information public 
prematurely. While I appreciate the Commons License concept not everyone 
operates this way.

If you look at the date of that press release you will see that it is 
from several months ago. I know of one deployment in Macedonia where 
much of what is promised in that press release is already operational. 
This is not the future, this is today.
