Deployment

Where has WiMax been deployed so far (honest question)?

Are they covering areas where DSL/Cable/Fiber is readily available? I mean, it's nice to have choice of services, but if an area has been wired for some time and people are happy with what they have because of the quality and/or price, they have probably encouraged their friends and family to sign up for the same.

I'm sure there's room for some competition even in those kind of areas, but I thought WiMax was supposed to be mostly for the mobile user and the under-served rural places wires won't be offered?

This is/was a early deployment and like you said mostly people in rural areas are using it...

Here's the coverage map:

Right now I see having a dsl/cable line to the house as normal for broadband. In the future I think it will be more normal to have a mobile plan and less likely that the majority will have a "fixed" internet plan.
