Valencia, CA | Interesting.... In 'theory', WiMAX was supposed to be less expensive, as it was built on open standards, and not old Bell/Telco proprietary info.
I suspect the following is currently why they're stating HW is expensive:
1. Lack of volume
2. Intel is the big backer, and needs to make money (they did post good quarter report).
3. Lack of competition (make money before the telcos have LTE deployed)
I personally think that if WiMAX was decently deployed (w/o caps, or decently high caps), many local DSL/Cable companies would have competition.
For ~$40/month, I'd consider it.
