The announcement was 'pre-wimax' which means damned near anything EXCEPT wimax ;) I would think if they were looking at .16e they would announce it to be the most buzzword complaint.

Isn't it the WiMAX "mobility" opportunity? Wasn't the original 802.16 specs completely rewritten to add the opportunity for mobility?

This may be a bit silly since I'm only a wireless guy (don't do DSL or anything else). But if you are the telco, why would you want to go wireless? I would think it would be cheaper and more reliable to provide internet over the wire you already have strung to the customers house... Anyone who knows better care to enlighten me?
