Finally, Some Wireless Broadband Competition
from the 80-per-month-club dept
In addition to its overpriced music store, Sprint also today fully launched its EV-DO network. The consumer, phone-only plans are priced at $15, $20 and $25, each allowing access to more TV and radio channels, but they all allow for unlimited data access. If a user wants to tether their phone to their computer, it's an additional $25 per month. So a user could get unlimited EV-DO access on their laptop (via their phone) for as little as $40 per month plus voice charges -- a pretty decent shot across the bow of Verizon and its more expensive data plans. We've bemoaned the lack of real competition in the wireless broadband market before, but it looks like things could be changing quickly, with Sprint's launch today, and Cingular's 3G launch rumored to come as early as tomorrow.
