Re: Maybe forget cable/ wireline Correct - it is feasible, however, don't forget
Voice users, and the fact that there may be more than once Docsis 1/2 channel available for use in a given area.
Assumptions:
- data is not used all the times by all users (i.e. BT or streaming has the ability to bring it to its knees)
- voice also runs over the same interface - voice takes priority.
- Similar to cable, the 'speed' would generally be substituted at some level for capacity. How many Docsis 1/2 users actually have access to 38Mbps .. besides Cablevision users.
- unlike cable, which has fixed user density (i.e. fixed nodes to fixed customers), wireless may see large variances as it is not fixed.
- signal/noise ratio can/will vary as will speeds depending of LOS, distance and materials in between.
I would personally go wireless if there wasn't a cap, or the cap was reasonable (+100GB / month).
I currently hit WiFi, and end up on MANY unlocked/unsecured hotspots. Some are local vendors that set them up that way, some are just unlocked residential

| I think when the new 700 mhz comes available. It will be exclusive LTE data. So all new data cards will have it, so they can push people off the 800/1900 network. Also they will be a while for new LTE devices to come out. I think Wimax is already dead. Nokia dropped its only device, thats not a good sign. |
