Link: Wireless Internet BroadbandAccess. When I first wrote about Verizon's Mobile Broadband Wireless EV-DO network, it was in 32 cities, and expanding. That was just a few months ago. It is now available in 181 metropolitan areas, and expanding more rapidly than anyone predicted. This just may be the WiFi Killer app. Now that the Treo 700w comes EV-DO capable, users of Windows Mobile 5.0 on the Treo have broadband wireless access anywhere. I still use, and swear by, my PCCard solution with my Dell ultralight. I don't go anywhere without it, and I can do real law work anywhere. Yesterday, for example, I was grabbing a late lunch at my local favorite restaurant, and I got a cell call from the office. A change needed to be made in a closing statement for a real estate transaction immediately. In the old days, I would have left my lunch un-eaten, and raced back to the office to solve the problem. With EV-DO, however, I was able to load my real estate prep software, make the necessary changes, and Efax the updated HUD1 to the parties for review. And, I finished my lunch.
