Why Wi-Fi?

What makes Wi-Fi over this spectrum more viable for deploying rural broadband than other methods- EV-DO, UMTS/HSPA, wireline technologies...

Of course, they're just using rural as an excuse to push the technology- of course it'll end up in urban/suburban areas, probably long before (if ever) it provides relief for rural areas consigned to satellite or dial-up over ancient lines.

@citizip.com		 How about they just wire the rural areas with fiber and not have to worry about us for another 30-40 years like they did with copper.
