Yeah,
I faintly remember that discussion. Not all its cut out to be.
It just gives more fodder to the FCC for better coverage to ATT so that they 
can buy some time to block other incumbents for a chance at some subsidy moneys.
They are using the CAF to do this with.

  Verizon has, or had, an LTE fixed solution a few years ago. I am pretty sure 
it was depply discussed on this list. It was UBB at around 10G for $100 if 
memory serves. ATT will likely try to be in the same ballpark.

      "unlimited" to a big ISP/cellco means throttling after some finite cap. 
They are greedy shitbags.

        Since it will likely be licensed, it is unlikely to be unlimited IMO.

          Very curious to see what their pricing is going to be on fixed and 
weather or not its UBB or unlimited.

            Verizon did the same thing around here several years ago with 
similar results.
