Re: Sprint, Clearwire Renew Talks
said by neofast  :It is not REVOLUTIONARY in any sense of the word. Nobody said it was, but WiMAX is far better than WiFi in technology and has a much better open business model than carrier-based services like EVDO/HSPA/LTE.
Of all possible wireless technologies available in the future, WiMAX has the most potential to be consumer friendly like WiFi yet have broader coverage than WiFi.
Like WiFi, it's also the only one likely to be easily installed on any kind of consumer device.. mp3 players, gps devices, dvd players, anything that can benefit being on the Net. Which other wireless tech has a chance to do that? I can't think of any other option. Certainly not LTE. |
