It's a shame

that wireless service has not provin to be the third option in broadband (from cable and DSL.) It has a lot of promising possibilities, but nobody can seem to make the $$$ work out.

I'd still say it needs time. It's a brand new (w/in years) technology tryng to replicate networks that took decade(s) to build. Not to mention their marketing budget isn't exactly off the hook. What they need to do is get Apple to use their AppleTV or something over it, just to get the marketing guru's on the scene.

That's probably true. I think the current best solution is internet over cell phones, but it's just too damn expensive. If I could get an unlimited 1.5M connection over wireless for ~$50 I would seriously consider dropping my fixed-ISP.
