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....

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?

Wow of all places Alaska? Nice to know somewhere else gets a new technology first than New York City as usual.

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.
