WiMAX, the low cost alternative to 3G
it's becoming clear that WiMAX will have a major advantage based on the very low cost of its spectrum
Operators already on the 3G train will of course fight WiMAX anyway, so that their huge investment in 3G doesn't look like the mistake of the century.
The situation is particularly acute in Europe where average 3G spectrum cost per Hz is 1,000 times higher than WiMAX spectrum
This is excellent for new operators (read: existing broadband providers), yet we need phones and other WiMAX devices as well, not just infrastructure.
