Since VZW's TOS states that connecting to corporate Intranets are OK, I wonder if I set up VPN to my home (or work), and used the connection that way for VoIP/video, etc. |

@census.gov | It is TIME
It is time for the affected users to join forces and sue them for false advertising. Unlimited HAS TO BE UNLIMITED... and if they are going to limit the use it has to be splicit. The crap in 8 font in the TOS needs to be terminated. |

From the letter:
"It cannot be used with any machine-to-machine applications"
I'm pretty sure all applications are machine to machine unless there are humans with RJ45 jacks built-in that can also speak IP fluently.
Caps suck - they should be sued and forced to remove "Unlimited" from the service name. |

Re: boo...
Oddly enough Sprint is going in the complete opposite direction ensuring customers that streaming video and gaming is perfectly fine with thier service. They also announced an evdo to wifi router in conjuction with LynkSys to be released the second half of this year. Talk about extreme differences in the adoption of new services.
The test will be when this technology is widely accepted at to whether it will be too much load on the towers. |

|  What about Sprint,we need network neutrality
Sprint doesn't seem to do that though, I read somewhere online that a person used 4gb because he was sharing his ev-do card with multiple computers.
Sprint's Terms of Service(TOS) aren't as restricitve as Verizon it seems. I think the title should be "Enjoy Verizon Ev-do,but not too much".
NETWORK NEUTRAILITY- this is a great point about Ev-do becuase the telcos- DO impair and blaOk access to certain websites, but I am sure they wouldn't do that for their own content!, Mind you Cingular and Verizon.
If we have a network neutrality bill it may cut that behavior of cutting of subscibers who pay Top dollar($80 plus taxes and surchages are a lot) for internet access.
Although I don't have ev-do I am hoping on getting it later this year about revision A comes in a smart phone such as the ppc-6700 which can be bough on ebay for under $200 and with activation fee waived. The reason I won
t get is because of the 2 year contract. If ev-do revision A comes out then I wouldn't mind getting a smartphone that I could use on my laptop becuase I would be much less concerned about singing a 2 year contract. Why sign a 2 year contract when ev-doa is coming out, |

The test will be when this technology is widely accepted at to whether it will be too much load on the towers. I noticed this as well when researching wireless internet access this past weekend. Sprint actually wants you to use the network.
Verizon on the other hand - doesn't. If you use video or audio streaming of _any_ kind (even over VPN) they'll can you for it. And quickly, too.
Which sucks. Because Sprint, Verizon and Alltel are the only three offering EV-DO(nt) around here. AT&T/Cingular are still on the old system at around 300kbps.
I think I'll wait a little longer before I get this & cell service. |

EDIT: It can be argued that the point of that is not so much about your battery, but to inhibit streaming from soaking up bandwidth. Also, unless they changed it in the last few days, they compress images so that they look awful.
When we got our card the rep told me that they could impose restrictions "at any time" to "protect our network bandwidth from hogging."
