More WiMax Impatience From Vendors
As everyone has been waiting and waiting and waiting (and, oh yeah, waiting) for real WiMax certification testing to begin, the various vendors in the space have been getting antsy. Last March, a group of them got together to do some testing on their own, and now Aperto Networks says that it couldn't be bothered to wait, and has run its own interoperability testing for WiMAX based on both Intel's and Fujitsu's chipsets. Get the feeling they want to get on with it already?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
