Motorola Field Tests Wireless Broadband At 300Mbps

This is only a test, but it is an order of magnitude faster than the fiber to the premises that Verizon is now starting to offer. They do mention that the final network would only see 20Mbps sustained and 100Mbps peak."

    "..traveling at typical highway speeds (in excess of 100 kilometers per hour or 62 mph)."

    With a connection like that you could easily set up some pretty cool homebrew telemetric systems. Maybe have a community database of good restaurants?

    Damn that is extremely fast but here in rural south east Ohio I would settle for just 1Mbps. I'm currently stuck at 28.8k and thats on a good day with my USR V.Everything Courier modem sigh...
