So much talk and hype but all I care about is reality. I'm curious about WiMAX or anything not tied to the cell companies or their pricing based on application. The new and improved and to 'rival' wired DSL/cable 3G/4G/blahG doesn't interest me in the slightest since it is just a faster version of what is already out there. I'm not avoiding xG because of speed but because of who runs it and how it is priced. Yep, I'm in Kanada and as such I don't own a cell phone so have zero interest in a faster data plan over a cell provider.

I want mobile internet, period. I don't want to pay these jokers for individual services such as phone, text, so called browsing, etc, I just want IP and then I'll run whatever I want over it based on a bandwidth cap. WiMAX promises that but the cell incumbents are doing all they can to kill that promise even when they are the actual providers. Promised me city wide wireless access and then only provided rural service (but good they did at least that) or a service that only runs over their locked down brick modems.

So all the news about the demise of this or the promise of that is just noise to me. When something is available here and now I'll listen.
