If this is true, this is a potentially game-changing development. This is truly unlimited data - even if it's tethered - and SMS are finally treated as what they are: little packets of data. The company says it has some proprietary algorithms and defragmentation engines to deal with latency, and connectiviy to connect even over EDGE and GPRS connections. So, if what they say is true, this is a footprint that's as big as AT&T and T-Mobile.
But, but but ... As much as I want to believe this, it does sound a little too good to be true. The beta should be in April though, and I'm trying my hardest to get in on it. Plus, you'd have to think the carriers will cut this off if they could - and I think they have no legal obligation to provide connection to a third party.
At the very least though, this could bring some prices down.
