Verizon High Speed Wireless

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oxymoron dept.

Handsets to support the service could be sold as early as next week, and Emblaze Systems is already testing wireless video on Verizon's Philadelphia network." I'm sure it will work just as well as Verizon's cell service does now.

    Yes! And its uptime will be even better than its DSL, all the way up to 60%! And it'll have more features, like maybe even static IP built in!

    Everything is mainstream now.

    So it won't work? Damn Verizon and their vaporware! At least they figured out how to screw people out of real money with it.

    My arguement is worthless? How do you figure? If I can't take my cell phone from one end of the state (Buffalo) to NYC, what's the point of it being NATION-WIDE cellular service?
