I'm very interested in getting WiMax into mobile devices of any kind. Anything that gives people an alternative to using the cellular networks for wide-area wireless networking is a good thing. I'd like to think that WiMax could help break the stranglehold that the operators have on what kind of devices consumers get to choose. Innovative, but relatively niche products like E-book readers and web pads (niche compared to cellphones) are just the kind of thing that would be great to have available with WiMax radios.

I'm interested in your opinion about why WiMax is a preferred solution to the cell networks and it's likely to start being deployed in the US.
