Re: So Says... There's more to it than that. Sure, WiMAX has many countries deployed, but how big of a footprint are those WiMAX deployments ? Until WiMAX has a footprint that covers that of cellular (even the prepaid MetroPCS), it will be more of a niche, or used in other devices (more likely). I don't disagree on the locked handset piece, however, handset locking is more of a North America item. I can purchase unlocked directly from the manufacturers, and even carrier locked from the manufacturers at a better rate than carriers 'list' them for (eg. AT&T V3xx 'lists' as $349, and becomes discounted with service, Motorola 'lists' is at $229 w/o service, and $50 with). -- Canada = Hollywood North |
