Were you there Nextel18? I listened to the whole thing on the conference call. It was very interesting, makes me excited for some of the new products that will come as a result of the new technology. They were having some problems getting the people o...

So much for Flarion. I guess I win that argument.

Interesting!
Havingno special fav carrier I could care less bout everyone.Being on T-mobile right now.how embarassing for them. Sprint was a lil late to the evdo party versus vzw but There are pushingthe envolope right now. Cingular and T-mobile have not even got there feet wet yet I feel bad for the GSM strandard and people working behind the scene. But This will hopefully force some prices down if they can fully realize and capitlize on the market. Catching everyone off garud while they firgure how they themselves want to proceed is pretty sneaky. If vzw doesn't followsuit we will have one less cdma provider. This will be interesting I hope they do it Wimaxis interesting glad someone is pulling the trigger.
i wonder if this alters vzw time and choice when upg to 4G

You're drastically underestimating Verizon's prominence and resources.
...
Yes, it is! It's smart for them to buy it all up.
...
is it the higher the mhz the worse penetration for some buildings
...
Well ideally yes, but with the MMDS spectrum it actually improves the coverage and in-door penetration.
Right now, there will be single devices with that MMDS spectrum, but later on going forward there will be dual CDMA/WIMAX devices. That CDMA wo...

Hopefully this will turn things around for them. Hard starting off in their position.

...and how long has 3G been deployed in the States for?
Jeez technology just keeps exponentially advancing.
