>> Hughes cited these statistics: It costs an Openzone customer less than 5 pence to download 1MB of data, compared to 50 pence for a 3G user. <<

And QCOM published estimates of $0.02/MB for 1XEV. That's cost to carrier, of course. And 1XEV obviously has a large coverage area. Not sure it even makes sense to compare costs for isolated 802.11 spots to wide-area coverage.

It would be interesting to know what the real-life costs are for the Korean 1XEV networks, though. And they are still in early stages, so costs obviously higher than for mature network.
