Amended from Om Malik on Broadband:
AT&T chief technology officer Hossein Eslambolchi says Ma Bell will start testing

data lines to businesses.” The emphasis being, “if it can be used.” He
added that “if the technology, known as WiMax, lives up to
expectations, AT&T Chief Technology Officer Hossein Eslambolchi
said, it could be used as early as next year to replace expensive data
lines AT&T now leases from local telephone companies to connect to
its network.” I am assuming that this is going to be in non SBC
regions. Eslambolchi said the tests will use two varieties of WiMax,
one that requires a receiver that has a line of sight to an antenna and
another that does not.
