WiMAX, Local Access Savior
WiMAX, Local Access Savior: "A couple of months ago, I discussed the proliferation of Wi-Fi across the US and the world. A super technology to be sure but there's a complimentary partner just waiting around the corner.
WiMAX has the range to provide the backhaul requirements for Wi-Fi, which has a much smaller footprint. However, I see a much bigger role for WiMax: local access. The coveted 'last mile' wired network technology that the regional bell operating companies (RBOCs) have hoarded and capitalized on since the divestiture of AT&T in 1984."
