Re: Coverage is high; but customer #'s nowhere to be found said by w0g:Intel has commented on that; specifically the telecom industry is holding WiMAX back and trying to stifle its' deployment. For some reason or another, PC vendors have also been slow to include the technology in computers. The telcom industry "isn't holding WiMAX back" it's the fact that it only works on very few frequencies, none of which are common for Wireless ISPs to use. The big wireless carriers in the US with the exception of Sprint are all going LTE and not mobile WiMax.
As to PC vendors, Sprint/Clearwire is the only large scale (ie national or semi-national) provider so who the hell is going to make a laptop with the chipset in it?
