Not a good sign for WiMax (Damn!! I invested in CLWR), I think. If Intel is confident that WiMax is going to dominate the market, he would not be making such a statement. | |

| I see a opportunity for WiMAX and LTE to enable bridges that previously did not exist and also having hybrid devices simplify the process for users while paying more for hardware up front they have the best of both worlds.
Making technology easy is what sells, you can see that clearly with Apple's example, the problem with the current 4G networks is that in order for them to become successful they must deliver at full peak performance. For the customer if he can pick up a signal such as Verizon or Sprint and although they are completely different technologies all he or she see's is that they have access to either network.
They connect to that network and a web based sign up process begins. The user does not care if he is connected through LTE or WiMAX, all he see's is for example Sprint's data is a bit cheaper than Verizon's price.
But if the customer is getting better coverage with Verizon, then he or she will eat the cost of the service. In the end the technology is transparent to the user, and suppliers can provide both WiMAX and LTE based routers further simplifying the process.
Intel is seeking something more than just competition, and I think that's really more about embedded solutions. | |

Maybe, but certainly not necessarily. Technologically, if they could synergize (I mean actually, not some Wall Street MBA lie), then it could help both.
That synergizing would have to be doable. Usually, strong synergy opportunities exist in communications technologies. However, where they exist must be actually resolved for them to actually synergize, so some MBA can't just delcare it to be (unless it was already established as possible and it got properly arranged and that MBA was the last button push). | |

How many frackin' times ya gonna use the word synergy
and its variations. You must be a marketing tool!
