What does this mean? For mobile it means that we may see wireless broadband to our mobile phones and other devices from companies/organizations other than the traditional wireless carriers. ‘So what?’ you may ask. Basically, this is another step in loosening the grip that the wireless carriers hold over the airwaves, and it potentially means that we may see cheap/free wireless internet service on our mobile devices and laptops in the near future.

I still don’t see roaming being an issue here, eventual LTE convergence or not. I do agree that one less competitor is bad for consumers, though. I think the real issue here is that arguable the most consumer friendly carrier (Alltel) has just been acquired by what is clearly the least consumer friendly carrier (Verizon).

Intercarrier roaming can have impact to overall pricing as the market continues to evolve, and that particular component can affect margins. I also think if you look hard at where the technology is moving in terms of LTE and WiMAX, the story gets even more interesting as the standards collapse and become more interoperable.</p> Jesse, sorry for confusion and yes, you are correct that they are CDMA – but in the end game the intimation in the comment is regarding one less player in a small field.
