High costs & inflexible rate plans; little, or no roaming; lack of community support for free service in public areas; expensive equipment; broadband internet/cable companies that offer no support for wi-fi in your home; tech support, and sales personnell that know even less than you do about the technology;
confusing instruction manuals for home installations, 802.?? standards that keep changing, etc, etc.
