Augh! Why did you have to tell me this? I figured WiMAX was another one of those things Canadians had to hear about but not have available or affordable. Now I see there is extensive coverage in my area! Cheap! (Rogers Portable Internet and Sympatico Internet Unplugged $25-$60 per month, depending on bandwidth) Now I need a new gadget. And I was so happy with my existing one.

Well, it seems you have to have their modems for the time being. We'll see if you can get to it from third party devices soon.
