I see great hope for rural broadband via WiMAX.

However, if the providers will pursue the same pricing model as cell phone data and if the consumer equipment costs cannot be redunced to the level of decent Wi-Fi gear WiMax will be another novelty.

FCC should support WiMAX instead of BPL (Broadband via Power Lines)
