Comments on: Wireless industry gears up for WiMax

Where does 3G wireless go from here? Many equipment makers and carriers are looking to the packet-based technology known as WiMax.

Spell Check: compatible.

I totally agree with the article, well, not quite. I go one step further. People do not need to fall for the obvious, there are alternatives.

I fell for it once, years ago, and then no more. When I was released from my two years of shackles, I bought myself a top Ericsson GPS phone and never looked back. Once a month, I charge my card with just what I want to use. If I need to refill earlier, no big deal. I have NO ancillary charges; I can take my phone all over the world by simply changing cards or buying a GPS card which covers all countries. The coverage of these phone companies has greatly improved and now competes with most of the hard-core timers.

I know that I am not an avid cell phone user, to me it is a tool not an excuse for endless chats, but my monthly bill averages $10.00 with ConUS or International usage. I have recovered the initial price of the phone ages ago, and I could have bought a much cheaper model to start with.

I smile at the "Network" I can do better cheaper!
