mobile WiFi accesspoint?

[Daniel Marsh]

I have seen a lot of real world speed tests that show that HSDPA 
typically delivers 60-70% of the downlink capacity of EVDO rev A. There 
are very few handsets on the market that support HSDPA and HSDPA has 
only been deployed in a very limited number (17 was the last number I 
saw) of markets. On the other hand, both Sprint and Verizon offer EVDO 
rev A throughout pretty much their whole network and can fall back on 
1xRTT if need be. Of the two, Sprint seems to score higher in download 
tests and has a much better end user agreement/acceptable use policy. 
ATT's only fallback option is EDGE, which is ungodly slow and actually 
crashed for most of the day nationwide as all the Iphone maniacs tried 
to suck down videos of skateboarding dogs off Youtube.
