Actually,
I would argue that the great thing about wimax is not really interop-
its lower costs on CPE. Until there is an agreed upon profile for
WImax QOS, then literally everyone who buys wimax base stations will
use the same manufacturers client devices. The only major difference
is CPE cost, which will be in the sub 300 range by mid 07. Now all
the propritary systems on the market currently cant deliver the level
of service that wimax equipment can, with the same projected CPE cost.

The "capabilities" of WiMAX ALREADY exist in the proprietary
products of Alvarion, Redline, Aperto Networks, etc. WiMAX is a
standardization of the lowest-common-denominator of those
capabilities, with certified interoperability.
If you've waited this long for "WiMAX" capabilities, and don't care
about interoperability... you've waited several years longer than
you needed to.
Thanks,

The entire point of WiMAX may be interoperability, but from a
fixed wireless standpoint interoperability is meaningless. When
and if mobile WiMAX becomes interesting interoperability will be
important. Until then there is no need for it in a fixed wireless
network, so the certification badge isn't desirable. What is
desirable is the capabilities of the radios. We certainly want to
see 802.16-based radios in 5.8Ghz.
