Re: Let's hear it for "walled gardens"
You are aware that Verizon sells wireless cards for your notebook computer right? The TOS limits what you can download if you sign up for that service. One of the prohibitions is that you can't use it as a substitute for a dedicated wired data line. |

Houston, TX | I am aware of that. We're still dealing with a scenario where if you can't get what you want from Verizon there are many other competitors out there who will oblige. Sprint makes wireless cards too, you know. |

1 edit | I agree. My main point was in response to ricep5 who said restrictions were fine. But if wireless broadband is going to become a real competitor to dsl and cable those restrictions are going to have to fall across the industry. Not just with one company since a companies coverage area isn't universal. |
