Re: WiMax?
said by bluebsh  :Isn't this one of the reasons WiMax was made? to cover an entire city with a single tower and minimal maintenance work? Well, yes, sort of. WiMAX won't cover an entire city with a single tower (see Clearwire's availability, even in small cities) but it helps to reduce the number of towers needed. |

WiMax is not, and never will be the way they had originally designed or rather hoped it would be.
its not ratified, and god only knows when it will be.
