first time, we're going to get multi-megabit speeds to new types
of devices that go beyond the broadband service that you have
in your house today. In Nigeria, Suburban Telecom is blanketing
the City of Abuja and covering millions of people with broadband
Internet access. In the US, we're working with CalTrain in
California to deliver integrated Wi-Fi/WiMAX connectivity to
moving trains. And in Brazil, we just helped bring WiMAX to a
town along the Amazon, making it the world's most remote
digital city. We've moved beyond first-generation devices, and
by 2008, we plan on delivering integrated, high-volume Wi-
Fi/WiMAX modules that are going to be available for PC
manufacturers to integrate in their new notebook designs.
Male Voice: There has been a fundamental realization that WiMAX and the
underlying technologies around [LS DMA] are just more efficient
for data transmission, as simple as that. We're heading towards
100 million notebook computers and mobility built into these and
built into small new devices. Ultra mobile devices will be the big
transforming technology wave in our industry in the next three
years.

David Perlmutter: Just having this excitement, we'll move into the next one,
because we are talking about reinventing the PC, and here is
our next step. We're going to create another category with the
leading-edge technology that will create them smaller, lighter,
better battery life. And we're going to extend mobility -- [IA]
