What I find most interesting in the wireless space is the fact that the most wireless savvy people I know roll their eyes when WiMAX is mentioned. I'm not sure the reasons for this, but it seems to do with the over hyped expectations, as well as the fact that WiMAX really "works" only for those people who (a) have already bought spectrum rights, (b) are willing to buy a bunch of other equipment, (c) or have situations where the unlicensed spectrum is already too crowded. I'd love to know more about WiMAX, but I seem to get one extreme or the other from those I talk to -- it either solves world hunger, or it's a giant piece of crap. Obviously there has got to be a happy medium (a giant piece of crap that solves world hunger, perhaps?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
