Bad news for WiFi?

Beset as it is by technical problems, and suffering from dot.com-sized expectations, 3G has a compelling reason to roll into the market because it gives the operators fourfold efficiencies over the 2G digital networks. They can close off the old transmitters, and save themselves a lot of money. In the UK, the 3 network is branding itself by offering the cheapest calls of all.

My Idea: Seriously, they can coexist! Why doesn't someone design and manufacture a WiFi access point that uses 1xEV-DO, 1xEV-DV, 1xRTT (yeah, yeah, or GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA) as the backhaul instead of a T1/DSL/Ethernet line?

Qualcomm: Embrace and extend!
