I would hope that cable companies would not bother with wireless voice, as that market has been saturated in the USA for a very long time now.
Wireless broadband is going to be very interesting. The main danger for cable companies is that if they deploy this in their existing service areas, they end up competing against their own wired offerings. I wonder if they will deploy to unserved or underserved areas first?

I would like to think they would use this capability to serve hard to wire communities, to complement their wired services. Unfortunately, I can have no good feelings at all about this, since it is highly likely they have as much interest in establishing a presence to deter competition as anything else.
quite simply, the incumbents want to control the world of content distribution and telecom and are just covering all the bases. |

So what happens to all the AWS spectrum that was purchased a year ago by Sprint and the cable companies? |

I want this. Right now I have EVDO with Verizon and after two years of using it as a substitute satellite radio service(has worked solid for two years driving everywhere) the reception is going downhill. I use the Internet more on my Windows Mobile Treo phone then I use for calling.
The Internet in the palm of your hands! You never get lost or lose an arguement! |

1 edit | Wipe Cell Off The Planet
It's long overdue that the cell carriers got what's coming to them.
Broadband everywhere will mean the end of cell phones and usher in very inexpens VOIP wireless phones (probably tied to your home voip provider like a cable company).
Of course cell carriers will offer resistance of massive proportions (buying Senators etc...).
Best Wishes |
