Does that mean 3-4Mbps = $60 ?

2 edits | Re: Price = ? Some rates that I've heard is about $40 for basic unlimited service on one device such as a laptop card. If a person owns multiple WiMAX devices, it may run up to $60/month for many devices on one account. Might depend on device type. IE, getting two or three laptop cards for $60/month probably won't be doable but a camera, streaming MP3 player, GPS device and a laptop card may be $60/month total.
Will be interesting to see how they classify devices and rates.
But there will also be pay-as-you-go rates on devices that have a service tied to it, like Amazon's Kindle. The use of the network is tied into the cost of the book. About $10 to download the book.
A Canon camera might have a rate tied into automatically posting all your pictures (as you take them) into some social networking site or something. You aren't tied to or charged by the carrier but rather the service tied to the device by the device maker.
If were lucky, some services will be free - ad-based. | |
