T-Mobile appears to have launched its wireless home broadband service in Longmont, Colo., setting up an interesting test of how well such a service competes with cable TV and municipal broadband services offering speeds up to 1 Gbps.
One might ask as well what happens to internet service provider business models when new competition enters such a market, even when not matching the top speeds already available in a market.
Can the new platforms--mobile, satellite and high altitude platforms--gain traction even when offering services that do not match the fastest speeds offered by fixed network incumbents?
Perhaps half of U.S. consumers buy fixed network internet access at speeds no higher than 75 Mbps.
