Amid DSL And Cable Wrangling, Wireless Broadband Waits In The Wings
As the 3G vs. WiFi argument continues unabated, it seems that some carriers are jumping back into the fixed-wireless broadband world again - so we can look forward to a third "challenger" in the debate. A few years ago it seemed like all the major telecom players were experimenting with fixed-wireless - but they all gave it up pretty quickly after they realized it was more difficult than they thought. While some still think that it will be limited to a niche market, others are betting that fixed-wireless offerings can overcome their early stumbles and take on cable and DSL offerings.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
