Also, for what it's worth, I've not had any issues indoors. The only time I dropped a signal was when handing off between towers in a sparsely covered area but that was more of a coverage issue than anything. Not trying to turn this into some preferred-brand cheerleading, just pointing out that it's an uphill battle for any new network infrastructure upgrade right now and there is still a lot to come.]]>Feb 17th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/Feb 17th 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/Feb 17th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/
Wimax is deployed around the globe right now - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deployed_WiMAX_networks

LTE is still at least a year away from implementation on any carrier.

I'd have a "love affair" with a tech I can use today too if the alternative was over a year away. By that time ASUS will have new wiz-bang gadgets to peddle and they will come with LTE if that is what the market is asking for.

I would like to have a WiMax phone that can tether to a PC as a modem.]]>Feb 17th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/

I'm a big doubter as to whether the LTE crowd really has the spectrum that it's gonna take. 700 mhz is great for penetration and distance, but it takes more of it to send an equivalent amount of data. That's why microwave units are used to carry large amounts of data. They have the freqs but not the bandwidth.
Oh, and another thing - they (the LTE folks) don't even have 3G fully deployed.
WiMAX FTW!]]>Feb 17th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/Feb 17th 2009 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/asus-announces-wimax-equipped-eee-pc-1000hg/http://www.wimaxian.com/2009/01/12/asus-eeepc-1000hg-the-first-wimax-enabled-asus-netbook/]]>Feb 18th 2009 7:44PM
