"With the rollout of a new technology called EvDO (evolution, data optimized), Verizon wireless users will enjoy burst data rates of 2.4Mbps and average data rates of 300Kbps to 600Kbps."
There is a catch though. "Purdy also believes the idea of a wireless broadband data network is so powerful that, in two years' time, notebook manufacturers will begin to incorporate EvDO connectivity into their laptops, just as they now integrate Wi-Fi. No one knows, however, whether EvDO will be able to withstand popularity, since the throughput of shared networks can drop precipitously under a heavy load."
