EvDO High-Speed Wireless vs. 802.11

Posted by timothy on from the this-is-worse-than-flying-cars dept.

willll writes "The Washington Post is running a story about EvDO (Evolution Data Only), a high-speed wireless technology. It can work anywhere that a mobile phone can work, one of its main advantages over WiFi. Companies such as Verizon and Lucent are looking into the technology." From the article, I'm not sure that EvDO can be directly compared to WiFi connections (and the article does not mention current long-range 802.11 ISPs), but it's still interesting.

    People have been leeching off 802.11 networks for too long. Maybe this will be something they will pay for.
