who thinks that vodafone's 3g broadband is going to be a thing of the past once slingshot's new wimax network is completed nationwide because they just got that 499million dollar plus funding from japan? look what slingshot max wireless offer currently:

For $99.90 you get a phoneline with caller id,call waiting and you get full speed unlimited broadband and cheap capped calling.

compare this to vodafone's 3g broadband and you get only 1gb of data for $59.95 on no contract. i mean this is half of the total price for slingshot max wireless and you only get 1gb of data. both vodafone and slingshot max wireless use wireless networks so why can slingshot max wireless offer unlimited data and vodafone only offers 1gb? i would have at least liked vodafone to have a 10gb cap for a no contract $59.95 a month and when they get their full speeds with hsdpa upgrade users at the same price.

also look at the wimax mobile phones coming out next year:

I mean vodafone's 3g broadband network should be able to handle this because it has been around for longer than slingshot's new wireless network so it should be able to handle heavy data loads.And wouldn't it be great if vodafone offered any amount of additional 3g broadband modems for $10 a month?
