Worse, you are still overestimating...

1. Our interest in expensive portable broadband devices
2. Our willingness to pay subscriptions for these devices.
3. Our willingness to demand broadband services to something with a 2" screen.
4. Carrier's willingness to clear out overcrowded licensed spectrum in absence of points 1, 2, 3.
5. Carrier's willingness to subsidize these terminals to the $300 range.
6. Limited propagation of services deployed above 2ghz which is where OFDM needs to be.
7. Our inability to deal with user interfaces on phones.


Many of these deficiencies also would apply to 3G wireless broadband as well. What are your feelings for the demand for 3G services? Why would 3G succeed in creating/maintaining/supplying a market for wireless broadband where WiFi/ricochet might fail? I always thought it was a bad sign that ricohet had such pathetic take up.
