Re: Media running stories just to downplay WiMAX's potential said by ke4pym:said by w0g: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. 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...
