I think most people would like to have EVDO as an option when on the go.
But the flat rate service plans are pretty pricey. We more competition
to drive down price and better tech to upgrade the speed.

ben, sorry about not seeing your email sooner... gmail is still
confusing to me... :o)
as far as sprint.. because they have a homogeneous 1900mhz net across
country.. its much simpler for them to roll out evdo than verizon who
basically patched together tons of smaller carriers in buyouts at
800/1900 or amps...
so... yeah... im not saying its easy to roll out the country... but
verizon does have a tougher job of it.
Dustin, funny thing is that i do the same thing.. . i always have my
wifi card IN the computer... its that way at the office so... its that
way when im on the road... and ONLY drop in evdo IF i dont have
wifi...
2 reasons...
1) wifi is generally faster
2) evdo burns battery life faster :o)
what do you guys think it'll take to get more people off wifi and on evdo?
REV A? in 2007?? hsdpa??

I use Wifi for WLAN services at work and home. When I am somewhere with
free wifi or wifi via company remote access plan I will use that. If all
else fails I pull out my Verizon EVDO card. So basically I won't pay
extra to use Wifi since I always have my EVDO card available with a flat
rate plan paid by my company.

Hello Bob,
Interesting to hear this... Sprint and EVDO. Funny NYC is on
round 2 of cities for deployment. I would be impressed if Sprint lit up
cities so quickly.

Dana, Hi... Sprint just announced that they will "announce"
Nationwide EVDO Coverage. What do see the market migration
potential being from wifi to evdo? Ironic timing in light of
the WIFI Shootout no? Looks like Verizon n Sprint will have a
shootout of their own... AND against WIFI too...
Anyone know stats on number of folks who own computers VS
laptops VS use WIFI???
It'd be fun to see how much market share EVDO skims off the
top of WIFI and who will stay firm in the wifi trench till
wimax gets big.
If you're interested, i put up a quick report about Sprint
Vs. Verizon EVDO at http://wirelessinternetcoverage.com
But, personally, i'd love to know who and WHEN the biggest
part of the wifi to evdo market migration will happen... thoughts?
lemme know.. thanks! bob
