Sprint Testing Alternate Wireless Broadband Technology
WiBro Is WiMAX
Wibro is based on an early draft of 802.16e. the intention has always been to unify the two.
The important difference is that wibro might end up being an option within 802.16e, an advanced option. Also relevant is that samsung is ahead of the rest of the 802.16e pact but they are still probably behind FLASH-OFDM.
Sprint is going to try everything, and they will play samsung, motorola and qualcomm (who now owns flarion/flash-ofdm) against each other.
