If Intel was serious about WiMAX, I would see force bundled WiMAX laptops on shelves right now. Why would anyone get WiMAX over a much bigger EVDO or HSDPA network when it will be the same price and only slightly faster?
Now that I thought about it, I figure Intel wants a workable deployment plan before they stick their neck out too far. It also gives them time to work out the bugs on the chipset and get them to vendors. -- There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country. ~ Joseph Addison
