You can't pick up a telecommunications magazine without seeing all
the news on wireless, wireless, wireless. Seems the biggest
obstacle in creating a seamless wireless network is still concrete
and steel -- the building. Consumers want continuous
wireless coverage in their homes, their cars, and their offices.
Building owners are finally beginning to address this need, as
well as considering all the other operations that can benefit from
a wireless building network!
And so, we will continue to bring you the latest from the
in-building wireless industry. We've also included a brief update
on the Texas Forced Access Case, for those who have been following
this activity.

Texas High
Court Again Refuses
To Rehear Building Access Case
The Texas Supreme Court has for the second time refused to hear a
case in which an appeals court confirmed that the Texas Building
Access Statutes are constitutional, which was a big win for the
state's telecom carriers. The contentious issue stems from a
dispute between property owner and Time Warner Telecom, Inc.,
regarding how much Time Warner Telecom should be required to pay
for access to the property.
When the dispute began, 10 telecom carriers had access to the
property in exchange for monthly payments ranging from $450 to
$1,000. Time Warner Telecom offered $208.03 per month, but the
offer was rejected by the property owner, which prompted Time
Warner Telecom to bring the matter to the Texas Public Utility
Commission. (click here for
