But it will be sweet if AOL went with 1X. If only we can get AOL and the rest of its 100 media channels to promote 1X CDMA. Wow Why it is not happening. I think that AOL may be the largest cable provider in the US....and they are bidding on T's cable assets right now. I dont think that wireless is the direction that they are going. Slacker

Where would AOL get the spectrum to do 1X? VZ, PCS, NXTL, Cingular, and AWE have all the wireless spectrum. The question that is begging to be answered is when the wireless companies are going to establish partnerships with the ISP's to promote wireless airtime for MSN, AOL, and Yahoo portholes from notebook computers. There has been a tremendous waste in resources trying to figure out the problems with the relationship between wireless internet access and existing ISP realtionships. Cell phones need to emualte the development of digital appliances - different cards for USB, fire wire, analog, etc... The only thing you need to do for wireless is turn the CDMA air cards for laptops into personal credit card style data cards. It would contain your personal IP address that you can remove from a air card slot in your phone, pda, laptop, pc, camera, etc... Actually, cell phone companies could make everything easier by putting a firewire from your cell phone to your notebook or pc to open up all the data petential. I bet Sony will be the first company with a CDMA2000 handset with a USB port.
