Re: It's a shame, too
WiMax is vaporware everywhere except, it seems, where you are. The so-called deployment here in Chicagoland is MIA. Careful where you point that hyperbole. |

Funny how they are nowhere but they have a vocal following here on BBR. Everytime theres an article about WIMAX. People come out of the woodworks calling LTE vaporware 
This is why I'm on HSPDA 3G. Because there is service. |

People come out of the woodworks calling LTE vaporware This is why I'm on HSPDA 3G. Because there is service. WiMAX as a technology is superior in every way to HSDPA 3G and EVDO Rev A. I think that's why there is a vocal following. If I had a choice between Mobile WiMax or any other currently offered service, I'd take mobile WiMax. That may change when LTE arrives, but that has yet to be seen.
The only thing, as you mentioned, that EVDO and HSDPA have going for them is deployment. However, how long did it take to get deployed to the level it is now? 10 years? How long as Mobile WiMax been around, 1 year -- in a crappy economy.
Regardless, having WiMax as competition is a good thing, no matter what you think of the technology or the company behind it. Or would you prefer to have two choices for mobile broadband, AT&T and Verizon? They've totally proven they are competitive haven't they? |

San Ramon, CA | WiiMAX is a glorified WIFI network while LTE is 4G. Thats the difference. |
