Re: Hard to find a laptop w/out WiFi, WiMAX to follow same path

As I said, WiMax covers an entire metropolitan area and there are no handoffs - a single connection. More like an FM radio station in that respect than a cellular or WiFi network. Of course, there are specific locations with coverage issues such as a subway (with any broadband wireless network).

There are problems with AT&T 2G/3G handoffs in New York where I live.

If there's only 1 site.... they had better have 500MHz worth of bandwidth to share, or its going to get filled pretty fast.

A town/city of up to 5,000 can probably do well on a site.
Cities like Los Angeles and NYC had better have sites every mile at least.
