I for one was bored and I would have simply dismissed Eric as simply too geeky to communicate. What cavert wanted to know was what is the power of WiMax? Eric should have thrown the numbers of how great it is and then thrown the facts of how badly sprint and clearwire are doing business. That was a horrible interview.

Neil you got my vote. I listen to the Schonfeld Talks About Clearwire/Sprint On Fox Business this morning at work. Can't wait for WIMAX to listen to you more on the road. I'm frankly tired of people like Erick Schonfeld from (Tec.com Friday, May 9, 2008; 5:09 PM) and many other from various tec magazines. What is wrong with them? Maybe too much from money to support their trashy tec magazine from the Wimax competitors? Wow! Neil you got my vote. I listen to the Schonfeld Talks About Clearwire/Sprint On Fox Business

You can’t honestly say that FOX news has been “Fair and Balanced”.

How much bandwidth per user, how many people can stream video at the same time in the same nabourhood using the same WiMax base station? 2. Can WiMax base stations be deployed cheaply using the FON method and Fem2cell like devices built-into cheap WiMax and WiFi broadband sharing routers. This way additionnal bandwidth could be deployed quite cheaply and net neutrality would stop any ISPs from complaining if their bandwidth is used to improve the WiMax networks available bandwidth. 3. How does bandwidth and coverage compare with White spaces and 700mhz networks? How does bandwidth compare with HSDPA? Since you are a journalist, it'd be nice if you could figure those things out and include that kind of information in a WiMax article. My questions are:

Here is the latest video from CTIA produced by CIO magazine for anyone that doesn't get the "promise" and sparkle clean happy feel good side of WiMAX for the end users. http://youtube.com/watch?v=DvwvJLxV10s I think think WiMAX has a very tough road in the US as compared to outside the US.

It will be well directed towards consumers. Imagine... 5mbs over 4-6 MILES. They will cost effectively blanket cities... Many devices you carry now will start coming with wimax chips.. cars, mp3 players, phones (of course), laptops, anything that can benefit from the internet and being connected. the internet works great even when the client is traveling at high speed... cable TV in cars = totally possible.
