Springfield, OR | Media running stories just to downplay WiMAX's potential I've been reading the links DSLreports posts for news, and what it seems like to me is there are a few sources bashing WiMAX with nothing really to back it up. Reading some of them sounds like it was wrote by some PR company for the LTE supporters. Right now I wouldn't trust that any of the analysists and news about WiMAX trouble or LTE being so ever awesome. It will be successful. |

So how long do you give a technology to become successful before you declare it dead? 10 years is a long time to be out and about and still not have much market share. |

Being backed by all the top players sounds like a pretty good analysis to me. Withall current wireless carriers except for one are choosing LTE as the upgrade path, and none choosing wimax it makes an obvious statement. Plus LTE was specificly designed so GSM and Cdma carrier could move to it.

I swear another link to this article appeared in a news headline here at DSLR just a few days ago but I can't seem to find it now.
Anyway,
quote:
"Yet, most emerging market WiMax operators currently have thousands, or tens of thousands of subscribers, rather than the hundreds of thousands of subscribers that they planned to have at this stage."
Compared to the ZERO current subscribers using LTE? We keep hearing about how well LTE is going to do like it's a certainty. Sounds a lot like Obama's Nobel prize to me.

Agreed the spread of F.U.D. about WiMAX means someone else is afraid if WiMAX does do well they'll lose money. |

I agree. What WiMAX will become is standards for a collection of asset-based community development technologies which can be deployed today that will directly benefit workforce development, education, the environment and socio-economic issues that plague our local communities and governments daily in today's economy. The introduction of WiMAX technologies will act as a catalyst and pioneer/sustain these types of programs and services that will ultimately benefit our communities and drive participation by the large incumbents as newer technologies are introduced in the marketplace.

Actually, 10 years isn't a long time for new standards like this....
It took almost that long for USB to be widely adopted. Same with PCI. Standards acceleration is moving quicker these days, but to roll out a completely new ecosystem takes time, to get people to agree to switch off of what they know takes time...
So this is not entirely unusual at all...
