Hey Mikey;
How long do we have to wait for Qualcomm to roll out broadband services?
How many tax abatements are they getting from San Diego not to go to Taiwan, India or China?
This is a case of sour grapes from a non-competitive equipment vendor.
Compared to all other forms of internet access, shared wireless is the cheapest.
Most municipalities may already use it to control traffic lights and video cams and already have it deployed in buildings.
If you are worried about security you will use a firewall and VPN, turn on wep.
Qualcomm is a loser company.
I dont see too many Qualcomm cell phones, do you?
You don't see any QC phones any more because Qualcomm agreed to stop making them because it was hurting its main business, cellphone chipsets.
As far as being a loser company, QC has no debt, has $8B in cash, and has an absolute lock on the the future of wireless. In 4-5 years QC could be approaching the size of Microsoft.
Full disclosure: yes, I work at Qualcomm.
