Re: Comcast & TW will have significant power on BD of Directors said by Karl Bode: quote:
Therefore, I can't see this venture as competing against the cable companies fixed infrastructure.
I don't think that was ever the point. A 4Mbps wireless service is its own animal, and competes directly with HSDPA and EVDO. Comcast & Time Warner clearly just want to bang heads with ma bell. I agree that that wasn't the point, but I'll bet many here were hoping a new wireless venture would be a new competitor to local cable and dsl providers.

People were touting WiMAX as the 3rd great broadband hope ... |

kudos:1 | FTTT is much better, installation is as simple as putting a weight on a reel of corrosion resistant Cat5 or fiber and flushing it down the toilet. |
