Flash-OFDM: New possible wireless standard or flash in the pan?

Flarion Technologies and Netgear are preparing a big announcement next week that has something to do with the rollout of their new high-speed cellular technology called Flash-OFDM.  The new protocol allows for wide-spectrum wireless connectivity in both static and mobile situations. Flarion claims speeds up to 1.5mbps, faster than Verizon's or
Sprint's EV-DO service which claims download speeds up to 500kbps, and still faster than AT&T's short but sweet 3G
rollout, at 320Kbps.  Expect to see premium prices for the service, but if the technology works as promised
(forgive us and our doubts) you will be able to subscribe to Flarion and use it both at home and on the road without having to worry about hotspot costs or locations.  We've seen a few wide-spectrum wireless companies come and go,
but Flarion's commitments from Netgear could make this one stick.  The announcement is planned for Monday.
