Hey, I live in a city with no name.
But WiMAX is here in this big 'ole backwater town. But you can't have it like the promo suggests, yet.

Won't somebody think of the children errr, costs!
Data plans are only expensive because well, we've been taught to think that data is special. To me it is all data and what I run on it is my choice. I choose not to pay by the application, phone, text, chat, email, browsing, etc; it is all simply data and the provider doesn't need to provide anything more than a simple ISP.

Do you use a cell phone? I don't for the same reason that I don't have t.v., sat, landline, howard stern, or a video rental card; costs. I pay only for internet, aka data. The phone/communications, research, and entertainment is via those data tubes. Being more mobile with my data is a service I might want to pay for. But not via the way it is offered and priced with the current systems. yeah, it is kinda a big deal.

always an issue as more and more is stuffed into the pocket but we're only mobile long enough to get somewhere so we'll just need to make it easy to power and charge them in more places.

Well I don't have very high hopes for the short term either. I'm doing fairly well with WiFI already and can always hope for true mobility.
