| Why will one always dominate?
I think the two are more complementary than in direct competition. Certainly, there is overlap with respect to a road warrior's PDA/laptop in StarBucks but how does WiMax compete in a home or corporate office setting where many computers want to share internal resources or a single land-line connection to the Internet? Did I miss the low power "personal" WiMax announcement? Isn't WiMax designed to replace last-mile wires and WiFi home/office (LAN) wires?
I'd love to have a WiMax modem connected to my home WiFi router so I can eliminate the cable/telco wires to my house. Isn't it plausible that someday it's cheaper since there's far less infrastructure to maintain? |
