WiMax


Recommended Posts

I've been hearing a decent bit about WiMax the last couple of months. WiMax is essentially wireless broadband. Here one good article on it http://telephonyonline.com/ar/telecom_tele...guide/index.htm

anyways, it's basically the successor of wifi, only much faster and a longer range

plans are in the works for some isp's to offer it by around december, and hopefully to make the equipmetn cheap enough and small enough to be used just like wifi is today

so wut do u think about this, I find it rather interesting, many people today areadly get internet off of some else's wifi, so if home users had wimax, and decided to share, you could perhaps get free internet seemlessly though a city, how awesome would that be?

so do u think this will happen, or that the technology will sink, or that it will only be affordable for isp systems for providing people with connections, and never cheap enough for normal users to a hotspot

i'm really not too sure

i saw a segment about a verizon wireless broadband service on techlive (when there was a techlive :cry). it was only available in the sanfran area. it will soon roll out in other major city areas such as new york and washington. they said it works well, but it ain't cheap at $60 per month. i dont know about you, but i'd rather pay $40 for cable and just use wifi.

I just wondering, all the countries spending millions to research on 3G mobile standard, why they don't just put wifi or wimax stations and use wifi or wimax chip in a mobile phone, cheap and easy.

To build up 3G network it needs build new stations anyway.
