EV DO is a disruptive technology because it represents a major break from existing data communication styles (e.g., plugged into a phone line or cable modem). WiFi seems to be attractive to those who are more comfortable with change in smaller increments. Just add a card to your existing computer, and you're done. So, from a psychological point of view, WiFi may give people more comfort than EV DO. Looking at it from this point of view, the marketing types may believe it's easier to sell WiFi than EV DO. But I still think most of the resistance comes from the phone companies themselves, not from the users. Art
