| Not to get anyones hopes up or down, but I don't expect the 'overly' crowded markets to be connected to EV-DO at first. Similarly to AT&T's UTMS service (albeit faster), all EV-DO and UMTS services have targeted 'smaller' cities, and probably those that are easiest to upgrade first. |

| RNC Stuff
My guess is that transmitter in GCS it just adding additional capacity for the RNC and/or making areas underground have a better signal. They did similar stuff here in Boston for the DNC, i.e., Verizon parked mobile antenna's around the city to beef us signals and capacity. |

It's been here for almost a year now, and we're a fairly over crowded area.
I think Fios and EV-DO would make a great pair. Fios isn't available to me (might be soon though). But I'd sign up for EV-DO today if it weren't so pricey (and if it didn't require a commitment). Even at the current terms, I'm still mulling over an EV-DO subscription, but a bundle price (and less commitment) would sure peak my interest. |

Add me onto that list.
I'm really happy with what I've seen from Verizon lately. Successful Fiber to the Premise up and running with deployments all over the country, 3mbit/768kbit rolled out in ex-BA and now this. Verizon is doing a great job at keeping us geeks happy this past week.

Re: FIOS + EV-DO Bundle?
Actually they've tagged $1 billion for EV-DO upgrades. I suppose they could then jump to EV-DV. Flash-OFDM looks more promising. |

Re: FIOS + EV-DO Bundle?
If you check the links at the top of the page - its speculation - there's no official word from Verizon on it.
As usual, wait for an official statement.
San Diego, Las Vegas and DC don't add up to the population of NYC combined.
stats (2000) (city websites):
San Diego: 1.2 million
Las Vegas: 500000
Washington DC: 500000
NYC: 8 million
Philly: 1.5 million |

Re: As usual
I'm a little confused about this thread. On one hand, there is the EV-DO rollout by the wireless company Verizon Wireless. On the other hand, there is discussion about fiber, presumably from the landline comany Verizon Communications. They are two different companies (although the wireless company is partly owned by the landline company). |

Re: FIOS + EV-DO Bundle?
EV-DO's "Washington DC" coverage isn't just the DC city limits. It extends into the surrounding area, though I'm sure it's still not comparable to NYC's population.
Here's the map (from Oct '03):

Re: As usual
It's not if it's the only service you can get (No cable/No DSL). I've called Verizon and begged them to get DSL to my house (Note, I prequalified on their website three times and placed 3 orders, they made me get a landline that I didnt want because my "address qualifies for DSL"). I, a paying customer, should not have to beg the only provider I have to choose from for service, it sucks. EVDO/National Access is pricey, but if it's all you can get, it's not too bad. Better than dial up and better than satellite. |
