Simply put, once Calypso catches one big fish, the rest will follow or risk giving their competion a big competitive advantage. Motorola and others have already learned the hard way the price to pay if they fall behind. I was in a coffee shop a few months back when another customer connected to a client on a cell phone, then his call got dropped by the cell tower. He frantically tried to call back and finally got through to learn that in a matter of seconds his competitor got through before him, and got an order for 400,000 gallons of oil. In an instant he lost tens of thousands of dollars. How much do you think he would have paid for ANSAP technology?

Q.E.D.

Michael: I didn’t know that there is a difference between the up and download speed in Wi-Fi networks. I never noticed a difference in my home network. But I did notice a huge difference when I switched from dial-up to high speed cable (plus Wi-Fi). EV-DO’s upload speed of 40-60 kbps doesn’t seem to be much faster than my old 54 kbps dial-up connection, which was painfully slow.
At least for me Wi-Fi is free: My high speed internet connection costs me about $8 more than AOL plus a second phone line but I did not switch because of Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi was just an added bonus and free (except the $50 for the router) and allows several people to be online simultaneously. Since I do most of my internet surfing at home or the office this set-up is absolutely sufficient and I do not need to spend another $80 for a medium fast connection on top of that.
My point is that Calypso’s technology might be a major competition for EV-DO as a lot of households already have high speed internet and might feel the same way than me.

But I did sign up for T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi service in case I have to travel, but I share it with 3 of my employees so the effective cost is only $5 per month per person.

Also, I forgot to tell you that a few days ago AT&T signed another Wi-Fi roaming agreement. We’re not there yet but are going in the right direction.
