Re: Makes sense in rural areas
Well, I'd have to think these EV-DO, EV-DV, or FLASH OFDM technologies are pretty attractive to businessmen on the go in major cities, who would consider $80 a month a good deal for mobile broadband.... |

1 edit | They'll probably bring it to the larger communities within range of the mountains like Anchorage, Seward, Soldotna, kenai, McKinley park, Fairbanks, and Juneau... Nome and barrow might be a different story.. Ketchikan might be too far out for good line of sight.. who knows?  |

Verizon Wireless will be launching EV-DO in every tower they own over the next 2 years. This will bring hope to people in rural areas like me. $80 a month is still high, although I'd pay it for BB. Rural areas are the red-headed step children of BB. Telco's and Cable companies just do not care at all. I am 2 1/2 miles away from a RT that they can upgrade to DSL ready anytime they wanted, but will not.
