| Great that it's mobile but...
It's great that WiMax is mobile but what about using it to provide competition for fixed HSI? I'd love to dump cable HSI and use 3G/HSPA for my home but I cannot justify the expense vs. cable. And the performance isn't what it probably needs to be for rock solid VOIP. |

| You know, I actually kind of like Wimax. Its current abilities and costs of deployment are rather prohibitive, but imagine if speeds were increased and costs were lowered, what someone like Google could do with this? Under cutting all of our ISP's? Drastically reducing our cell phone bills with VoIP handsets (I dream of a Wimax handset with Google, designed by Apple)? I believe this to be the future, or at least the one I hope to see. |

| I'd take WiMAX for a DSL replacement... however, I'd like to see the following for WiMAX:
- DSL replaced with WiMAX
- POTS replaced with WiMAX (not cell)
- TV replaced with WiMAX (yeah right)
TV over something similar to WiMAX exists in Canada.
