With all the talk about Google entering into dark fibre connectivity I’d be very surprised if they are not looking to leverage WiMAX technology. Which makes for interesting correlation with Ray Ozzie (Micro$oft) looking to setup data-centres…
WiMAX (aka 802.16) is an interesting development, which I (and others) expect will change the face of last-mile broadband delivery, as well as impacting the cell-phone providers. The technology promises to deliver up to 2Mbps in a range up to 50km.
