Not to mention overage charges in the $250-$500 per GB range | |

| Re: What about CAPS? We really have no idea what kind of caps might be imposed on a future service that is years away from being widely implemented. Nor do we know anything at all about any overage charges or how the service will be packaged and sold. IF you read my comment, it was clear that I was merely speculating on the potential. | |

| The Oracle of BS The Oracle of Delphi received her visions of the future by breathing vapor which originated deep in the earth. John Cunliffe the Oracle of BS receives his visions of that which will be by locking himself in a closet and breathing his own fart gas. We have also had similar prognostications from the Oracle of BPL. In the case of BPL who knows what noxious vapors are inhaled by their Oracle to get visions of the whichness of what will be.

| p2p and multimedia Wishful thinking for his bonus 
Anything to do with P2P or multimedia will slaughter wireless internet and result in caps. Contention ratios determine who gets capital and a high stock price, and who goes bankrupt. | |

| Not so much... '...traditional broadband is "a nightmare for both the consumer and the service provider..."'
The "nightmares" may get the press--squeaky wheels and all, but the minor hassles of the typical install are hardly a headache. Wireless offers its own, unique nightmares & headaches.

Woodbridge, VA | The speeds better be faster than 50mbs I have 50mbs now. There is no way I would consider going to wireless unless my speed was at least 40mbs. that's as low as I would consider. | |

| Lay off whatever he is smoking. This guy is off his meds. If he had said 80% of the NEW broadband users between now and 2013, I could MAYBE see it. But there is no way in 7734 that they will get that many people to switch. On top of that it would be virtually impossible for them to boost the capacity of all those towers enough to carry (say 3000?) users(per tower) at 20meg each(which by 2013 will probably be the "standard" broadband speed). | |

| Have to be a billionaire to afford the overuse charges In Canada one gigabyte a month is considered taboo. Anything over that and you're looking at anywhere from 100 to 10,000,000 dollars in overuse charges. The internet is almost dead in this country. Most people have just given up or gone back to dial-up from America. | |

| I hope wireless technology vastly improves. I'd love to see fast/reliable/uncapped wireless broadband. Right now for home broadband, its generally cable vs. DSL. Which is basically a duopoly of sorts. It would cost too much for any new company to lay down cable to develop a wired infrastructure, so the only way to get competition would be through wireless internet.
I'm not sure if I think we'll see it by 2013, but I'm all for it, the more competition the better. | |

| Cell Towers backbone All of the towers have a fiber and/or copper backbone back to the ILEC central office. So his comment is moot. Fiber and copper will be around for a long time. The capacity of the towers depends on the size of the backbone feeding it.

| Who cares.. really .. it is wishful thinking.. yeah well i will never be wireless .
sorry
but i dont need the security knowing i can call anyone at anytime for no important reason, simply just to annoy others and be unethically rude in my surroundings.
for business purporses... sure
for personal use ?
wait til you get home to call your grandmother or your best friend. im sure it doesnt need to be done on the bus, or while your walking, not looking around you and getting hit by a truck or oncoming pedestrians.
everytime i see someone walking towards me with their phone, i give them a nice bump with the shoulder.
not my problem, they arent paying attention while they are talking ..
most people have a hard time looking around them when they are in a supermarket or the mall WITHOUT a phone ...
why make it worse.
so again, no ... no phone for me.
if I needed a phone and wireless was my only choice, it wouldnt make sense, because i would just be leaving it at home anyway ... or having it with me but off.. unless its really important.. then i would first 1) find a private place with nobody around.. like maybe .. oh a phone BOOTH ! .. 2) make my call quick, because afterwall, i have better things to do while im OUT. ... 3) make the call worth it. | |

Ericsson: 80% Of Broadband Users Will Be Wireless By 2013
What about CAPS?
Great idea if subscribers are not limited to 5Gb Caps and the price is right. I am not holding my breath. Ericsson did not indicate how many subscribers a tower can support and still maintain high performance.
