How is this different than sticking an EVDO card in my laptop and sharing it via WiFi?
I can just see the Verizon guys sitting in an exec conference room and giving themselves a big "DO!" and a slap to the forehead. |

That's the point of this news story, Verizon execs don't like people doing that.

I think the bigger concern should be an $80 unlimited plain providing VOIP instad of people paying some of the highest cellular phone bills in the industry! Plus no taxes and fees |

I dont see the issue.. you're talking about sharing less than a t1 worth of bandwidth and your upload is 155kbps max and usually less than that based on signal strenght...
I think someone misinformed the exec's about what's going on. Until Rev A comes around there wouldnt even be a good amount of bandwidth to share.
I believe Rev A is 3mb down and 1mb up. |

... worse Verizon is backhauling cellular at ~915 MHz in our area. Yep, that's right kiddies your nice encrypted digital cellular calls are being dropped to 915 analog in the clear and broadcast all over eastern Virginia.
Gawd, the shit Verizon pulls is limitless. Sure it is protected, but does it have to be in the ISM bands where Mabel with her baby monitor can pick it up?

| I think you have your information wrong, they can't and will not go to analog. The FCC is putting an end to ALL analog cellular service in a couple years. Meaning anyone with and old analog phone theyve kept for years because they can't get anything else, will not work anymore. |

Meaning anyone with and old analog phone theyve kept for years because they can't get anything else, will not work anymore. That is exactly what I thought myself, but in deploying 900 MHz Canopy hardware I am seeing what most certainly looks like cellular between 911 and 916. It definately touches wire line which means it is protected and it definately belongs to Verizon.
It could be a beat frequency happening in the IFs but I don't think that is what it is and it can't be a harmonic. It is strong enough to break squelch even with the antenna off of the scanner.
Hence my guess that it is a point-to-point link between two towers.
