Why the WiMax Deal will be Successful
In a recent article by Erick Schonfeld over at TechCrunch about WiMax, I read the article and do agree with some of the points such as Clearwire being not a good company, but I don’t think WiMax deal will be a disaster.
Why?
WiMax is the only available wireless broadband technology that has proven it’s versatility and speed over the current outdated 3G technology in the U.S.
WiMax is as fast as Cable DSL with download speeds up to 6Mbps.
In Korea, they call WiMax, WiBro. Internationally, it’s called mobile WiMax.
WiMax is an IEEE approved standard, IEEE 802.16.
As soon as WiMax hits Sprint networks, everyone will be going bonkers over the high speeds of being able to do more things such as watch movies on the cellphone, and use Skype to call instead of using up your minutes.
It will be like the iPhone buzz, except people will crave over the high data speeds.
People in Korea and other parts of Asia have been getting this for last 2 to 3 years!!!
