There's a big difference in pricing, considering it covers home and road access, and multiple devices, for unlimited broadband data access at $55.

Suppose you have a phone, internet tablet and notebook computer. What would broadband access cost under current 3g regimes, disregarding the pricklier question of whether you could even get 3g broadband speeds?

Furthermore, on which platform will the carrier make money if you upload and download large files every day? The cost per bit will be much lower under WiMAX - that is virtually assured given recent chip pricing info.

Of course none of this will stop Sprint from charging the highest price the market will bear and pocket the incremental savings. At least until more competition appears on the landscape....

Cheers! TM
