Navini Gets Into Another Big Test... But It's Still Not WiMax
Navini, whose equipment is currently being used in the US by BellSouth to try out mobile wireless broadband has done a deal with BT in the UK to have their equipment used in mobile broadband trials there. However, either they or the Reuters reporter is calling it "mobile WiMax," which would probably be a surprise to many -- considering that mobile WiMax still doesn't exist yet. Navini, obviously, is involved in the mobile WiMax process, but calling their existing equipment mobile WiMax is quite misleading.
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
