Meh. The mobile hotspot probably will be slower than Sprint's dedicated mobile hotspots (MiFi).

Unfortunately for RIM, their arrogance caused them to slow-walk the product and software development pipeline. They are paying for the arrogance big-time. It is anyone's guess whether they will be around in 24 months. Each quarter is going to see further drops in market share. At some point, they cease to be a relevant participant.
