"..This (allowing 3G use of MMDS spectrum) of course would be a boon for high-speed cable and DSL providers because they'd have one less competitor to face in the margin-crushing market for high-speed Internet access. Consumers, on the other hand, will likely face increased broadband prices and fewer provider choices.." ---------- I don't believe the author grasps the last mile data potential of 3G mobile services for mobile + fixed applications. The FCC decision should increase competition, lower broadband prices, and offer greater choice. Is it possible that the FCC can do something right? This could upset some apple carts in the good old US of A... It would be an interesting way for WCOM to regain some mobile footing after being denied Sprint.
