It's BMV, not BMW. I know that the two letters look similar, but one has two pointy things at the bottom and the other only has one. I hope that helps.

Wait... no data???

I think the company could certainly exploit the fixed-wireless market though. Think of a landline replacement unit with a small directional WAN antenna. I'd set my parents up with it to replace the landline... Only if it had a small data package would I be able to drop their internet connection too...

CDMA itself isn't bad as a protocol, the problem with it is that the makers let the telcos lock down the phones too much, encumbering adoption and handset development, as well as adding expenses.

But seriously.... NO DATA???

CDMA is dead, where will the new handsets will come from? I see no future in this network in the mid/long-term.

BMV Holdings (real brand name TBD) — the Post reported yesterday (but then it looks to have gotten yanked) that the brand was going to be Boundless Mobile. Is that now ruled out?
