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?
