HINT: data connectivity itself is a killer app...)

I understand but I just wonder about the need for speed. Most of us do what we need to do today at a snail's pace, which I'll admit is TOO slow, But 2 Mbps? And 2Mbps via HDR is stationary, whereas 3G CDMA is supposed to provide these speeds on the move?

Because speed is going to cost scalability does seem Very important. EMT's are gonna want to be able to send that "video" file straight to the hospital regardless of expense (oh my god, I can already see my insurance bills) but do I really need to seed you a clip of Biff my 6 week old Golden Retriever.

NETSCAPE is a great analogy..Managing and optimizing these newfangoed networks sounds like quite a handful though..
