It amazes me how many self proclaimed experts think wimax is not going to be widely adopted due to things like lte. 🤣

Simple fact wimax exists and is working. You will see more and more people using it. Not because it is better then lte, but because it already exists and is ready for implementation. I predict some carriers may even use wimax as a bridge to lte. No data to back up that claim, but I still think it will used that way.

$31 a month (from the Reuters article) sounds nice for a mobile broadband solution with no long-term contract though...! I wonder if that is significantly cheaper than what cellular data plans cost over there as well.
