It's interesting to see how the wireless carriers are trying to compete with VoIP and (at the same time) leverage the broader coverage of broadband in areas where cell service is weak. On the cool side: A few of us here have been using T-Mobile's wifi service and GSM+WiFi phones for the past

Bandwidth management is a tricky topic, very nuanced, and varies from provider to provider. In someways, despite some of the net neutrality discussions focusing around disclosure, this may end up becoming a bit of a secret sauce because it is so heavily tied into quality perception. In the end,
