He is simply stating thing's that have been stated here many times. I will shut up on the matter in regards to the HSPA and EVDO/WiMAX family until we actually start seeing the services and real world results that show these technologies maxing themselves out to determine which is best and put a end to this stupid debate over which is better or not.

| I don't care which one is better. I wish a serious wireless competitor for fixed HSI (cable/DSL/T1) would emerge. If it has the side benefit of also supporting mobility, great but I would think that mobility has more technical challenges that add to the cost.
If major metro areas had multiple wireless providers that really scaled in terms of speed and customer count, we would finally have competition for the last mile. And with respect to wireless, what works in metro areas easily works in rural areas leading to the FCC Holy Grail of ~100% coverage.
I agree that mobile WiMax is alluring but it seems logical to take a baby step, generate revenue and then take another step. |

One of the most realistic/non-critical replies I've seen on this subject. Lets wait till we see it at hand before we pick sides.
As far as Wimax getting hit because it's not "global", who really cares? Global cell phones are not selling like hotcakes in the U.S. and nor are satellite phones (my choice if I was going to travel the globe). So, if WIMAX doesn't work in Poland, think we really care? |
