Why, so they can kick off people that download too much that much quicker???

Sweet!!

I have about 110 Police Crusier's using this service & my officers are always complaining to me about dead spots & slow speeds. Although I must admit things are getting much better.

Re: Make it faster???

Well, going from 700kb to 800kb isn't that particularly a huge 'jump' in speed, so don't expect any shorter/quicker DL times.

Upgrade options?

I have a few users that use this service at my job. It's a 50/50 split between ones with the PC Card and ones built into the laptop (ThinkPad Z6x series.)

The cards built into the laptop are a 'PCI Express Mini Card.' I wonder if replacement cards will be made available? Probably only on eBay. lol

is it priced fairly?

Would be a nasty shock for the shareholders if they were to price themselves out of the market after investing untold BILLIONS on the technology!!!

I'm still surprised it (or any wireless data plans) can compete with the likes of free ubiquitous WIFI across linksys-land-usa.

Interesting report at gigaom posting a Verizon quote:

We’ve had a number of communities lit up with Rev. A for a few months, and expect to introduce a first PC card in the coming weeks. We won’t be announcing a launch of Rev. A until we hit a significant number of markets up and running, though. — Verizon Wireless, Jeffrey Nelson

Re: is it priced fairly?

free wifi is still a crapshot. I'd rather pay to have virtually guaranteed wifi coverage wherever i go. (as long as it is offered in that city!)

Does VZW even sell any Rev A devices yet?

Verizon Rev-A(wesome)

Verizon does sell Rev-A Hardware. Its the Sierra Aircard 595.

Using it in North Dallas, I got excellent results!
