Show me the proof. Just because something is capable of great things
doesn't mean the companies selling the service won't cripple it in some
way. Look what the cable companies do with their cable internet service.
Or (don't even get me started) DSL. Garbage. All of it. This will be
simply the next layer on that garbage heap. Great technology -- poor
implementation. Mark my words.

Wimax is great for *consumers* -- be a mindless, choiceless zombie all
you want and let the conglomerates dictate what you need and want. I'll
have none of it.
It's not great for *customers*. Those of us who have a choice and
actually think about their purchases and the repercussions thereto
realize that this is just another attempt at corporate america trying to
screw the average joe, which is exactly what is going to happen.
Don't let the corporations treat you like a consumer. When you do that,
everyone loses.
