"The Bridge Ratings Report - The Impact of Wireless Internet"

"The availability of wireless Internet in-car poses a signficant
threat to traditional as well as satellite radio. This study projects
that the growth of Wi-Fi in-car should reach more than 50% of the U.S.
population after nine years of market availability."

"Chrysler announces wireless Internet access in 2009 models"

LOL. The only question is, will Chrysler still be around in 9 years?

Not only that, but the average US car is 8 years old, and sales of new
cars is waaaaaaaay down. It would take 8 to 10 years to get 50% WiMax
penetration if every car, starting today, were WiMax enabled. The only
problem is that there is no real standard or universal, nationwide
provider yet. So there will be several years of infrastructure "fallout"
before wide range WiMax will work... even more if the government becomes
involved.

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.
