The number of places that I would use DV-DO has been reduced albeit at the moment not by many but some. Be it at airport lounges, train stations, SBUX, MacD, and more and more buildings. slowly and inexorably there are more and mroe places where I can get online with 802.11. this is not intended to panic anyone, but has anyone considered the implications of the recent announcement of wifi-enabled airplanes (SAS's agreement with Boeing, linked here siliconinvestor.com. This may represent the first place that one will be able to use 802.11, but not 3G. Will laptop-toting business travellers want to carry both 802.11 and CDMA pc-cards? if it's one of the other, which one is more useful? This defenitely weakens the ubiquity argument of 3G... BTW, I got online at McDonald's yesteday... only the 3rd perrson to do so (after they rolled WiFi out 2 days ago). I don't think the program is going to prove very popular <g>.
