Intel is their chipmaking partner and is not giving them any flak that I can determine. The minute that they do, you know I'll report on it. The trade group hasn't made any efforts to suppress this use yet, and Intel hasn't made any public statements I'm aware of. After talking to Alvarion, I don't think they're misrepresenting what they're doing because they've committed to providing, ultimatey, WiMax certified equipment when it's available sometime in 2005. This is not like selling something that's clearly unrelated to 802.16 and claiming it can be upgraded. It's selling something that's very much like 802.16 and promising it will be upgraded.

Specious: your vacuum cleaner lacks a solid booster stage. BreezeMax actually has a radio transmitter in it. When you get to Mars, please clean up the place.
