Beginning 12/31/04, pay-per-incident and Premier support will no longer be available. This includes security hotfixes.

Verizon Starts National Rollout of EV-DO Wireless - Mobile Connection Speeds of 300-500Kbps Are Here
Fulfilling its promise to begin a national 3G network rollout this summer, Verizon Wireless announced the launch of its BroadbandAccess service in Las Vegas on July 28. Powered by an Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) third generation (3G) wide-area network, BroadbandAccess commercial service is one of the fastest wide-area wireless Internet access services available in the nation, with average user speeds of 300-500 kilobits per second (kbps). Developed with a range of users in mind, BroadbandAccess allows large enterprises, small-medium businesses and mobile professionals to conduct business anytime, anywhere in our BroadbandAccess coverage area via a secure, reliable, true high-speed data connection.
In greater Las Vegas, Verizon Wireless' BroadbandAccess coverage includes the Las Vegas Strip, North Las Vegas, Lakes of Las Vegas, Green Valley, Henderson, Summerlin, Southern Highlands, Aliante and Spring Valley. In October 2003, Verizon Wireless launched BroadbandAccess in San Diego, CA, extending from Oceanside south to National City and east to include Escondido, Poway and El Cajon; and Washington D.C. including coverage in the District of Columbia, the Reston and Alexandria, VA areas and the Rockville, MD area. Verizon Wireless will continue to launch the service in major cities across the U.S. this year.
In addition to its ongoing annual capital investment program to build network capacity and coverage, Verizon Wireless expects to invest $1 billion over the next two years to deploy its EV-DO technology nationally. For the past four years, Verizon Wireless has committed $4 billion annually to its capital investment program.
EV-DO cards are available now from Zumasys for $299, plus $79.99/month for unlimited data service. These EV-DO Aircards are dual-mode, which means they fall back to 1xRTT data speeds (50-70Kbps) when you are outside of the EV-DO coverage area. Order yours today by contacting Zumasys via email or by dialing (800)841-3879, option 2.
