Lynette Luna writes in an article in Fierce Broadband Wireless that pundits hailing the death of WiMax might be in for a surprise. Her main argument is that new a number of carriers across the globe see WiMax as a potential transition technology towards the goal of a TD-LTE infrastructure.
I agree wholeheartedly with this assessment but I do believe there is another point to address. In the end, the consumer always chooses what is best for him/her. WiMax Carriers traditionally have “all you can eat” product offerings and they seem to go over well with consumers.
If Mobile carriers continue their pay-per-kilobit, bandwidth-constrained and roaming tariff practices, it just might be “the consumer” who makes WiMax happen.
