Therefore, I can't see this venture as competing against the cable companies fixed infrastructure.
I don't think that was ever the point. A 4Mbps wireless service is its own animal, and competes directly with HSDPA and EVDO. Comcast & Time Warner clearly just want to bang heads with ma bell.

Jamaica, NY | FTTT is much better, installation is as simple as putting a weight on a reel of corrosion resistant Cat5 or fiber and flushing it down the toilet. |
