A couple of interesting articles:

For those wanting to do VOIP or realtime video, the bandwidth increase will be sufficient (although in some of our tests - the EVDO bandwidth may be there now)

I'll believe it when I see it.

By '06, WiMAX should be in full swing, so the Rev A announcement could be propaganda to deter these folks. Or it may make them work harder. We'll have to wait and see.

Any word on whether any of the existing PC Cards might be upgradable to Rev A?

Here is the exact word from Sierra Wireless:

Any guess as to rate changes with Rev. A? Do you think Rev. A be more expensive?

(I got a 20% discount via my employer on EVDO with Verizon. I guess that is one advantage to a big company. You may want to investigate if existing corporate discount plans extend to EVDO!)

I cannot see EVDO prices going anywhere but down over time.

When EVDO Rev A is rolled out, whatever the current unlimited pricing, I would guess that would be the same for EVDO Rev A. It will give Verizon/Sprint the chance to sell us another PC Card and lock us in for another contract term.

I hope your right about the pricing Michael. I will be one of those standing in line for the new card and service contract, gladly. Smile

thefeature.com seems to not be responding at the moment.

I am reading the subject of the thread correctly? Rev A has faster upload speed than download speed?

Don't mean to toss a bucket of cold water on your Rev A hopes, but there is going to be a significant cost to the carriers to upgrade those same chipsets in the cell sites...

Look for Rev A handsets to arrive before the carriers offer it, since it's backwards compatible. Your devices will then start to take advantage of the Rev A speeds as the carriers spend the upgrade money.
