Are we talking of 1mb/s, 20 mb/s, 100 mbs/s. Customers pay for a service based on what they can expect from it so that they can develop a use paradigm within their sphere of need. Mobility is attractive, but narrow capability has limited use and the article does not describe the mobile broadband capability. Mobility is useful but if the applications are limited by factors more common with RF issues than applications issues than at least I, personally, would like to find what mobility means. Arm waving to impress the world about the future of broadband does not cut it for me as a user. It appears to be a wave of the near future but a more explicit description will help.
