said by Michael C:I think the biggest area of WiMax adoption will be in point-to-point backhaul applications, such as cell tower connectivity for remote areas. I think as wireless usage continues to outpace coverage expansion, WiMax could allow for faster tower deployment by eliminating the right-of-way red tape required to lay fiber or copper.
There is however still the Red Tape required to deploy the Towers (Cell or WiMax) needed for the system often due to NIMBY Opposition. Also what speeds does WiMax offer as compared to Copper/Fiber Backhaul physical links?
