This paper investigates some important characteristics of available Internet bandwidth in commercial wireless environment which have become increasingly available everywhere. Through extensive experiments and performance analysis, the paper identifies three important characteristics. First, the bandwidth bottleneck in a commercial wireless environment lies on the edge of the Internet. Second, the available downstream bandwidth is usually larger than the available upstream bandwidth. Finally, available bandwidth remains relatively persistent and piecewise stationary
