Very nice piece. Given the recent wins of Alvarion, WiMax is having a nice 2009. I expect more from ALVR in the second half of the year.

There’s certainly room for two network business models even in mature markets, just as there is room for low-cost and national carriers in the airline industry. However, both of these could be delivered with the same technology. The mobile operators will struggle to cope with the variable demand across their network, which means quality of service, download and upload speeds will be variable. I believe there is a need for a network that has capacity reserved for critical applications on a different commercial basis.

I agree with you absolutaly Mr.Daryl,

WiMAX is to be an alternative to the internet services that we have on our Metropolitan Area Network….

Within a large number of years maybe when we have an Global Area Network with WiMAX, it can compete with Mobile Operators……

But first the market of WiMAX is to explore the nomadicity that it will create with the MAN….the use of internet wherever you are wherever you want, with download and upload speeds much better that what we have today….

Of couse that we can’t forget about VoIP app thru WiMAX, for me one of the Killer’s app, don’t forget that people major phone calls are within the MAN, and with WiMAX people will be able to do it wherever they are, when they want, with good quality, at zero cost, because that service will be included on the monthly single bill (SLA)…

WiMAX has to be carefuly plan and have a very good network planning to fulfill the public demands, with a cheaper cost to the end user….I thanks pretty much to Clearwire for implementing WiMAX against all the odds and lobys from the telecom providers…..that’s a very good example, not like buzz telecom that has quite on the first stage of problems…..

Regarding Nokia, just wait a few months or yers untill they change their attitude, I believe that they’re going on the wrong direction….

WiMAX and LTE can perfectly co-exist and hope they do!!

Personaly I believe in WiMAX, it’s a demand that people have and will have even more within a couple of years….it’s an alternative to dsl/adsl service……

Please Mr. Daryl I would like you to contact me, here is my email, hugosaecunha@hcmax.com

Thanks for the news,

Best regards,

Hugo Cunha

I waited years to buy a WIFI antenna, this can wait too.

Meanwhile, the Internet is everywhere, there’s no reason to connect via cell phone.
