Re: Makes sense in rural areas
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.

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

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?  |
