Verizon Backs Up Wired Network With EV-DO
Verizon has launched its new business unit, formed after its buyout of MCI. It's not doing anything too exciting, but it is offering some products that bundle together services from its different units, including one that uses EV-DO as a backup for business' main wired connection. It's similar to what Cingular announced last year, a slower fallback connection should the main wired network fail. It's doubtful that EV-DO connections will replace much faster wired ones in most offices, but it can prove a useful backup.
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.
