Oddly enough Sprint is going in the complete opposite direction ensuring customers that streaming video and gaming is perfectly fine with thier service. They also announced an evdo to wifi router in conjuction with LynkSys to be released the second half of this year. Talk about extreme differences in the adoption of new services.

The test will be when this technology is widely accepted at to whether it will be too much load on the towers.
I noticed this as well when researching wireless internet access this past weekend. Sprint actually wants you to use the network.

Verizon on the other hand - doesn't. If you use video or audio streaming of _any_ kind (even over VPN) they'll can you for it. And quickly, too.

Which sucks. Because Sprint, Verizon and Alltel are the only three offering EV-DO(nt) around here. AT&T/Cingular are still on the old system at around 300kbps.

I think I'll wait a little longer before I get this & cell service.
