SBC WiFi hotspots to extend Cingular coverage area by 2006

By Ryan Block


Not that we're seeing an abundance of handsets out now with WiFi (or without crippled WiFi VoIP, in some cases),
but last week SBC also announced the new holy grail of wireless telephony: by the end of 2005 they will have implemented equipment to extend the Cingular coverage area via WiFi hotspots (probably with that
WiMax backhaul), and they will have a business cellular/WiFi voice plans to go along with it. Wishful thinking? Well, we'll just say that we'll believe it when we see it.
