Thanks Patrick. It took me a long time to get past the original snake oil mentality of WiMax proponents when they were claiming 70 megabits out 70 miles. I went through a phase of being dead set against WiMax because I thought the culture lacked integrity over all the false hype. Then I began reading the real story of what made 802.16 technology tick. The more I read the more I decided that it really is a sound technology. I eventually bought a system from Redline and have been quite happy with the results. It is nice to be able to go into my higher end business customers and tell them I can deliver more for their money through the air than cable and DSL can bring to the table. That is TRUE. The service flows capability alone make WiMax worth the extra bucks. Now fast forward to this thread. I have seen my WiMax vendor of choice bashed by another vendor rep. I have seen the same person claiming 20 to 30km sized cells in 3650 which is not a reasonable expectation. It makes me sick to my stomach. We should expect that people will act with respect and integrity on industry list servers. Let's straighten up folks.
