Re: At this rate...

Few WiMAX devices cover 2-3 major frequency bands, but could work on other carriers and in differing countries. But true, if a device only has a certain band, it may only work with one carrier. As WiMAX matures, it does need to have devices that cover all major bands.

I see your point. It depends on how limited the device is but is not an inherent limitation of WiMAX itself.

It took a while for multiband cellphones to appear. No different with WiMAX devices.

It is an inherent limitation of WiMAX. The standard doesn't define any frequencies unlike GSM/LTE in which all bands that can be used are defined by a central body. Also each WiMAX provider decides to recycle some different band, its not that there are 2 competing WiMAX providers in the same band like with 800 mhz cellular and PCS and its just a software switch for which adjacent channel to log into.
