Digicel also satisfied with wimax

[KoyoteGambit]

I have to say the $40 per mb was an insult to me, so their wimax service is gonna be really high priced. It would be nice however to have service some places you go in Jamaica without wifi and not have to pay an arm and a leg, but with how the 3 companies are coming together to jackup data costs, it doesnt look feasible for the average masses (which is 70% of Jamaica).

its as if the consumers are just wallets to these companies.DIGI,Claro and lime are basically saying charge these 3rd world people anything and they have to eat it up.

thats the good part about the us, when people dont like something they just leave it where it is but in jamaica the idiots jump to every beat and dont use their brains

well i'll wait and see, Wimax is not mainly geared towards mobile users, its more like wireless broadband for pc, - just as dsl, but the wireless version, 3g is geared towards mobile thou, they did wel in cayman giving unlimited packages, so they can always do the same here,

wimax is an expensive technology and the prices of the equipment aren't going down soon. So when digicel launches its services,are they going to subsidize the equipment? Hell no digicel is gonna charge high prices to turn a profit of the services.

So who is gonna pay for that...they would be on crack for thinking that anyone would pay more that 2gs for that service....

I'll stick with my old berry plan...it coulda slow likkle more...it still doing the job...

[pltaz]

Lets wait n see wot they are up to before we all start critizing..... i too thinks its gona cost alot but lets see 1st!

Wimax is very expensive to setup from what i see. They use wimax at NCU, very stable and fast with low ping times. But i dont know how it would work for residential use (price wise)

Digicel will HAVE TO subsidize the cost somehow: http://www.google.com/products?q=wimax+devices
