---> fuel a pickup of MediaFlo at a greater rate than now

That assumes the content people want streamed is available on FLO. FLO was a wonderful idea. However, it's one-way only nature means they have to pick the right stuff, make it ubiquitously available and in an matter that improves upon that which exists today. Without 3g integration and user control, FLO content gets stacked in a million to one manner. LTE/WIMAX also provides the "wonderful" potential of FLO.

G* was ubiquitous, FLO optimized the downlink. Both failed in their integration into existing infrastructure and became marginalized by natural industry progression. History is repetitive. In the FLO and G* case, they technically delivered that which was requested but failed miserably on the market requirements front. Lots of holes in the Qualcomm Way.
