Yeah, we’ll totally admit that we’re waiting with bated breath for Verizon to bring their high-speed EV-DO network (which can deliver DSL-level download speeds to your cellphone) to New York City, but while we know that they’re gradually rolling that out nationwide, what we hadn’t known was that they’re also currently testing a fixed wireless broadband network in rural Virginia. The article doesn’t say how fast the downloads are, but they may be moving to “WiMAX-certified” gear next year (WiMAX is basically a long-distance version of WiFi and the next buzzword we’ll all be sick of in about 12 months).

It'd be nice to know where Rural Virginia is....like Middlesex County, Mathews County, or what?!
