- bcardarella, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10802.20 has the potential (on paper) to blow WiMax out of the water. The problem is that it would be such a disruptive technology that the big telecoms are really trying to slow it's entry into the market so they can have plenty of time to adapt. The same goes for WiMax. Mobile WiMax should have been in the consumers hands by 2004 but it too is (was) a disruptive technology that would have made the telecoms 3G towers obsolete. So these companies get voting rights in the IEEE groups and slow development. It's a real pain in the ass because start-up companies rely upon disruptive technology in order to compete. When the technology no longer becomes disruptive, but just a transition technology then the is no competition.
And don't even get me started on available frequencies in the US. - bitterg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Qualcomm is playing games, but so is Intel and everyone else. WiMAX is confusing because it sounds promising but where is the proof? Where are the trials?
