Dear Mr. Khare,

I currently own in excess of 500,000 shares of Netro Corporation. We all
realize that the telecom equipment industry is currently in turmoil and will
continue to be for several years. This isn't the year 1999; a time when burning
cash was an accepted business plan. As President Bush told a Wall Street crowd
Tuesday, "The United States must usher in a new era of integrity in corporate
America in the wake of abuses and excesses". He further went on to state that
corporate abuse would no longer be tolerated. In today's market, boards of
directors are under strict scrutiny for not fulfilling their obligations. Not
appearing for annual meetings and shirking the duty to properly supervise,
hire, and fire CEOs are clear signs that the board has breached the duty of
care that it owes to their shareholders. Netro Corporation's Board of Directors
has done all of the foregoing, and it is self-evident that they lack interest
in Netro's future and its shareholders. The board of directors of Netro
Corporation could be considered to have acted negligent and may have breached
their duties by not trying to maximize shareholder value. Unfortunately, the
goals of the board of directors are misaligned with those of the shareholders.
As a result, the shareholders are suffering while the board of directors
remains unaffected.

I am proposing a $3.75 share all-cash bid for all outstanding common shares of
Netro. My proposal is more than fair as I am offering a substantial premium
(approximately 75%) to the current share price. Judging by the current trading
price of Netro, I think we can agree that Wall Street has cast its vote on
Netro's future. Although many of the board members have made tens of millions
of dollars selling Netro's stock near the highs, my investment has decreased
substantially. Like other shareholders, I want to salvage what remains of my
investment with what is left of Netro's substantial assets. Times have changed;
I urge the board to consider my offer at Tuesday's meeting. My attorney Louis
Schwartz, Esq. and myself are looking forward to discussing this transaction
further. We look forward to your response.





Thank you for your time and consideration. Louis Schwartz, Esq., can be
contacted at (404) 545-1547, or I can be contacted at (561) 271-1016.

Sincerely,



Scott M. Siegel
Managing Partner
