| Cell phone companies offer "High Speed" internet for surfing
And email. And that would work well and make fiscal sense.
Using Slingbox on your cell phone wasn't and can't ever will be the purpose of the service.
Verizon shows videos on their commercials because they offer that service thru their network for a fee. Downloading over 10GB with EVDO is not gonna fly because each cell site requires at least 1 T1 dedicated to EVDO and often more plus at least 60,000 in parts and another 60,000 for revA and another 60,0000 for revB...) In a city there can be 100's of cell sites each requiring separate T1's and all those wonderful parts. There simply can't be the bandwith for over usage. It's just not possible at this time. 1.5/1.5 can't serve many bandwith hogs downloading constantly at EVDO's max lol
Now when Wimax or whatever flavor comes the possibilities may expand but Verizon or Sprint or any other cellular company. Can do an all you can eat service. It simply is impossible.
I'm suprised the 10GB limit is that high to be perfectly honest. That's EXTREMELY generous given the network limits and extreme costs to provide the service. |
