WiMax Confusion
For all the hype about WiMax, some are noting that too many variables in the WiMax spec, making it too easy to create incompatible WiMax systems. The fear is that, without a real standard, there will be a number of different systems that won't talk to each other. It's a little tough to tell without knowing the details, but some of this article sounds more like political pressure than actual fears. WiMax is still early on in the process, and it seems likely that compatibility issues will be ironed out eventually.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
