Options blossom for mobile Internet access

August 08, 2004

The Seattle Times Nextel is reportedly testing IPWireless' network technology, the standards-based TD-CDMA, though through a different type of spectrum than the Flarion service requires. With the Flarion-based service, Nextel can market higher speeds and lower costs than cell carriers' offerings. "It leapfrogs 3G and competes with DSL," Nextel's Schaefer said

Recent research supports her claims. A report from Parks Associates found that 43 percent of Internet users said they would be interested in replacing their DSL service with a wireless Internet service if it was priced in the $30 to $40 range.
