Wimax/WiFi router same as a DSL/WiFi or Docsis/WiFi device

No big deal here. Surprised if there will not be multiple products from various vendors selling these devices as Wimax rolls out around the country.

Not exactly. In order to use the WiFi modem, you need the correct drivers on the router, it needs to connect via a slightly-more-nonstandard protocol than Ethernet, and generally be more complex than an Ehternet-in router. Hence the cost of such mobile broadband routers so far: well over $100. Wonder how much this one will be. Great idea though.

Well a $120~ Wi-Max/Wi-Fi router would be good for alot of people.

A few questions
Only 8 does that mean that its going to pass public IP's via wi-fi? or that its a crippled Wi-Fi ap?

Will it have any wired connections?

Also what will be the monthly cost?

This could be interesting.

Going by previous CradlePoint stuff, it may not actually have a wired connection. If youwant to hook upwired computers, you get the home-based solution, which is faster and cheaper anyway.

Monthly cost = cost per month for your Clear mobile service.

Only 8 people...hmm...that could be due to considerations about having the highest speed available for everyone. 8 devices is a fair amount anyway. If those 8 devices were passed public IPs then...wow that'd be amazing.
