Re: Qualcomm making it easier
I think there's a lot of money to be made during the 2010 Olympics (international roaming) that Bell/Telus have been currently losing to Rogers. Rogers (GSM) does actually sell WiMAX wireless service as well 
I suspect there will be different overall uses for WiMAX and LTE though.
WiMAX may end up more in various devices, I suspect a lot of 'non retail' devices, but more industrial or b2b in addition to many niche products. HSPA/LTE are too tied into the old corp mobile industry at the retail level for handsets.

In fact, on the biz side it's promoted as 'WiMax in Home', for example.
So, how is it NOT WiMax?

It is based on pre-wimax standards but it is in fact a proprietary wireless protocol. |

Actually it is kinda. We are talking about the Inukshuk network jointly owned by Bell/Rogers. It is pre-WiMAX but really it is more or less exactly the same as the ratified fixed WiMAX standard. |
