Maybe not "lack of alternative" but lack of a very attractive alternative. With GPRS wheezing along at 20 kbps, marginally faster than IS-95A CDMA, what is the attraction of attaching Wi-fi access to such a standard? Anyone can do it (the wi-fi part) and nothing accrues to Voicestream since no one will want to use the GPRS part. Edge? Maybe that is a real "lack of alternative" - it remains to be seen, literally.
