WiMAX Misses Another Target Date
The brief history of WiMAX has been littered with delay after delay after delay. None of these delays, though, have slowed down the hype machine. The first actual, certified WiMAX equipment was supposed to be announced this week at a trade show, but some changes to the standard mean that probably won't happen, either. Maybe the WiMAX Forum shouldn't really care if certified products ever arrive, after all, the media just can't get enough of WiMAX networks, even if none actually exist yet.
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
