OFMDA--From Yahoo. Looks like this system is more akin to cable that CDMA. Is it mobile or just an unwired LAN?? W-OFMD is 30 Kbps (not Mpbs) per user by: ZipperOuch 23872 of 23874 Each W-OFMD base station has a capacity of 30 Mbps, but that capacity is spread out over 1,000 users per base station, so each user gets a maximum of only 30 Kbps. 30 Kbps is slower than my 56K NetZero connection, and more than ten times slower than CDMA (384 Kbps). W-OFMD is like cable Internet access: the more users per base station, the less bandwidth available per cable Internet subscriber. JohnG
