Why?

What's wrong with WiFi it makes perfect sense for small scale deployment such as a college campus while WiMAX will make sense for city wide projects.

It's like everyone is doing crap backwards and on top of that everyone has at least a 802.11b/g card these days on there laptop or there desktop.

Yeah, but some college campuses can be as big as a small city/town. At least the vast ones with a lot of living green things, heh.... And I'm not talking about the sick college drunks.

I know of one vendor who quoted me for a WiMAX card of at least 80 dollars and the AP at around 200 dollars. I believe it was Zyxel. -- The only limits we have are the one's we set ourselves.
