Renegade? That sounds like an insult to the entire Wi-Max ecosystem. And besides like @Allen said we come here for the tech news and analysis not marketing buzz words…

Pull up your socks guys.

What’s worse you’re calling Wi-Max and LTE 3G technologies though all along in previous posts you guys have billed them 4G. Make up your minds.

WiMAX, 3G/HSDPA, LTE provide wireless access for the last mile (or miles). Wifi only provides it for the last 30 meters.

So it is not comparable. Wifi is great for hotspots. 3G/HSDPA/LTE and WiMAX are the only ones to provide true mobility (the one you can enjoy while on a car or on a train)

That¡Çs a general overview of the theme of GigaOM¡Çs ¡ÈBroadband Wireless Debate¡É panel at Mobilize. Clearwire¡Çs Chief Strategy Officer Scott Richardson said that 3G can only go so far to deliver the future needs of consumers craving rich multimedia, music and video on the go. And the next generation of 3G from a carrier perspective, LTE, would take multiple years to implement, Richardson pointed out. On the other hand we¡Çre about to deploy our WiMAX network in Portland, he said. mobile tech SHARETHIS.addEntry( { title: “Mobilize: WiMAX for the Renegades, LTE for the Incumbents “, url: “http://turquoise.tm.land.to/?p=246″ } ); [...]
