1xEV-DO: You are your own hot-spot
If you’ve been in an airport, coffee shop, gym or hotel recently, chances are you’ve been right in the middle of a wireless network such as Wi-Fi or 802.11 networking. But, to some extent, the limited coverage of Wi-Fi can be problem. Moving around usually requires changing hot-spots, and if they’re run by different providers, it also means changing Internet access settings.
Fortunately, the solution is coming.
You’ll be able to use CDMA2000 1xEV-DO-based third generation (3G) technology inside your mobile phone: you will have wireless broadband Internet access from your Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux laptop without the need for a hot-spot! Insert an EVDO PC Card into your laptop and seconds later, you are connected to the Internet at DSL-like speeds (400K-700K).

Apakah ini berarti: kalau punya EVDO PC Card di laptop (dan hape CDMA 3G), saya bisa online dimana saja, asal ada sinyal Telkom Flexi (yang terluas saat ini)? termasuk di banjarmasin?
pembayarannya tetap dalam hitungan per kbps ya? kalo gitu, tetep aja mahal, walau cepat, karena kita cenderung menggunakan koneksi internet cepat untuk download/upload file2 besar.
