I can get 3G in my car right now.

3G is a cell phone technology, not a web technology. How much do you
think ATT would charge to use their 3G net in your car for, let's say,
two hours a day of high bandwidth requiring audio? Think of it as cable
TV where one wire leaves the head end for each subscriber.

With 3G, you are using a channel just for yourself. With WiMax you can
be one of millions using a local network of WiMax sites, all "tuning in"
to the same WiMax source. Think of it as one wire leaving a site with
everyone tapping in wherever they are.




I get 5,000,000,000 Bytes per month for $60, that is quite sufficient
for listening to 128 kb/s MP3, all day long. I have a Franklin dongle
for 3G broadband. There is no telephone attached.
