Re: Too early for integrated 3G support in laptops
Again, I really don't see why it *can't* be used as permanent place broadband access. The providers don't want you too, because they will make less money, and have to provide more resources for it, so they will fight it tooth-and-nail, but it will come, eventually. I am patient.

You might be able to use it as one in principle, but whatever vendors TOS/AUP will prolly shoot you down for the most part. I know Verizon's edvo is very limited as to what they allow, here is a quip
said by Verizons EVDO TOS :
Unlimited NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess services cannot be used (1) for uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games, (2) with server devices or with host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, Voice over IP (VoIP), automated machine-to-machine connections, or peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, or (3) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections
That isn't even including on how it only unlimited access and not use, Use too much and bam, you get the boot, and I bet you would still have to pay the EFT.

1 edit | Whatever. Eventually these stiff TOS's will go away. And 3G wireless will become a viable alternative to fixed broadband access, *especially* as non-fixed access options start to become more numerous, and competition heats up. Thats all I was trying to say. I am waiting for that day to come.
