| What about the juice? This is great for Iraq, but.. the only problem I see is that do they have reliable electricity? I've heard from a friend of mine who works as a contractor over there, that after the US military took over the country, the electricity infrastructure was bombed to hell for the most part and some places have it for like a few hours a day, some don't have it at all.
Who's going to be using all that Wimax if there is no juice?

kudos:1 | From what I understand, some of the electrical problems in Iraq stem from an increase in demand. So many more "gadgets" like washing machines and computers are available now than in Saddam's time that capacity can't keep up.
I would imagine they would have some sort of power back up system at the cell sites...

| I have also heard that the electrical transport infrastructure is fine but like you said there is not enough power (power plants). All infrastructure will have to be completed before we leave, for the Iraq people to defend and survive themselves.
