Wimax is theoretically great for coverage (relatively long range) but…to deliver a broadband experience with limited spectrum available, providers will need a very dense antenna infrastructure deplyed…more antennas than cell phone compaones have today. I don’t see capital being available for this anytime soon.

Meanwhile the guys making money, selling services are denied the cash they need to (really) succeed.

A week after I penciled my column, WiMAX Isn’t the next WiFi, Intel is out spreading more WiMAX FUD. The Feature’s Carlo Longino, today points out that Intel’s vision has more holes than all the cheese in Switzerland. As a part of the biggest hype blit…
