Motorola showed off some routers, that will pull down the signal for home use. If they can demonstrate consistent high speeds across the city, I would be more than happy to leave Comcast. Granted you will need WiMax enabled devices. WiMax iPhone for the win!</p> http://chicagoist.com/2007/09/27/boat_ride_on_th.php#comment-1207619 http://chicagoist.com/2007/09/27/boat_ride_on_th.php#comment-1207619 Comments Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:25:46 -0600 <p>This is a bigger deal than it sounds like. Your bluetooth phone will be a modem for your laptop and your home computer. One bill for truly broadband interent wherever you are. Forget hunting around for a crappy WiFi signal. As a bonus, Sprint isn't going to tie users into contracts with its WiMax service. They've said they're going with month-to-month service. This is cool stuff.</p>
