Not EVDO

FYI...

MediaFLOW does not use EVDO technology, it is a different frequency.

This is actually great news for EVDO users, since it will remove Vcast, which does use EVDO, off the EVDO network and that will free up TONS of bandwidth for users that need it.

Are you an idiot??? The headline of the article is Verizon To Offer TV Together With EV-DO. And the article states that they will be using the EVDO technology for this multimedia offering. It just won't be in the traditional band!!!!

Wow, this brings new meaning to Reading Comprehension. 🙄

Here is the first line of the article: "Verizon today announced they will use Qualcomm's Media FLO (forward link only) technology to bring TV to their EV-DO networks."

Care to say it won't use EVDO again???

Ouch. You probably want to hold your tongue before you call someone an idiot next time. MediaFLO utilizes OFDMA technology, not CDMA. MediaFLO will be broadcast on a different network, owned by Qualcomm, in a different frequency band than Verizon's network. In this way, MediaFLO complements Verizon's EVDO network. I think the press release was worded that way to personalize it for the Verizon brand.

unfort, you must understand how SF works on this board. he always does this and calls people names.. perhaps its becuase he doesnt quite understand the technology at hand?

anyway we must be patient with these types of people. 🙂

well said by the way 🙂

Does this mean there will be another extra charge for the TV broadcast, along with the vcast one? Hopefully they will have some sort of package available.
