Finally – first they are and then they aren’t – then they got a new CEO who doesn’t get WiMAX and then everyone is all in a tizzy and now they are back on, again – it’s like the girl at the prom who is the biggest tease, only this time its with the thing we all want – or think we want – WiMAX. According to the great article in MCN, even though WiMax is pretty new technology some industry wonks and gurus believe it will surpass Wi-Fi – which the article’s reporter Mike Farrell humorously states is “the current wireless-broadband flavor of the day.” God we love that phrase!
And thank you Mike for writing a piece of news that actually is based around, uh, THE NEWS! It’s just common sense actually – one WiMax tower gives us groveling early adopters of this cool technology over a 30-mile radius, compared to only a four- to six-mile radius for Wi-Fi – and if that doesn’t resonate with those of you that actually like to say use words like WiFi and WiMax but don’t actually know what it means – it REALLY means that WiMAX is faster which means more stuff can get to you quicker. Like Mobile TV!
PS Why did Google invest in Clearwire?
