Ben, re "[edit: CDMA2000 1xEV-DO] tied into Wi-Fi hotspots " I have seen suggestions about using DO with a Wi-Fi hotspot many times .. probably ever since the "Wi-Fi competition vs. complementary to 3G" debate started. But using a 2.4 Mbps forward link as the backbone to a Wi-Fi LAN ("hotspot") running at 11 Mbps has never made sense to me. I don't recall seeing this capacity issue addressed anywhere. The network architecture is only viable IMHO, if the majority of the LAN traffic is peer-to-peer. I cannot think of airport or a Starbucks type scenario where this would be true. And the reverse link of DO is much slower. What am I missing? Would 4 r-f carriers (5 MHz bandwidth, 9.6 Mbps combined), or something like that, be typically used for the forward link? Can someone shed some light on this? Ron
