last I heard, it costs close $50k to get the dev kit for the Lucent USB
Add in another $50k in development time, that means that KarlNet is down
$100k at the get go
How much would you pay for a USB license...$20-30? So, @ $20, KarlNet would
have to sell 5000 USB licenses to just break even
Probably not going to happen anytime soon

Subject: RE: [Karlnet] Karlnet Wishlist Revisited (USB)???
One thing I would really like to see is a good Karlnet implementation
that will work via USB (i.e. the USB unit with a Gold Card inside from
Orinoco).
It seems I was told at WISPCON in March that a USB driver was soon to be
available. I'm not even sure what the technical issues are.
It strikes me that a USB unit with an external antenna and a longer USB
cable run (with the USB unit placed nearer the antenna) could be one way
to keep CPE installation costs down in certain situations.
Does anyone have additional thoughts or information to share concerning
this?
