WiMAX360 Guidelines
March 2009
WiMAX360 Members,

Based on feedback and in order to maintain our high level of standards, we have recently established a set of membership and content guidelines.
These guidelines were created to better define the purpose of WiMAX360. Our goal is to not inhibit discussions of the community, but rather provide a basic level of standards to ensure a better experience for all members. Theses guidelines will continue to evolve and as always, we welcome your feedback.
Sincerely,
Carl Townsend

Open letter to Universtiy Students from an x-Professor Grad EE
We realize that a large percentage of Wimax.360 members are students doing research projects or a thesis related to broadband wireless/WiMAX technology. As an x-College Professor (15 years teaching graduate EE at Santa Clara University), I understand how difficult and demanding those projects can be. My sincere advice to all of you is to try to do as much of the work on your own and not ask 360 members for help the minute you have a problem. Stop and think first. There are many tools at your disposal: the web, university library, your professors, your fellow students, industry people you may know, linked in or yahoo groups, etc.
Students actively involved in WiMAX research projects are invited to join 360. However, those students should make every effort to complete their projects internally- without reaching out to the 360 community for help. We suggest that most technical issues can be addressed by the student's advisor or by members of the project team. If that is not the case, then carefully worded questions can be posed in the Discussion section of 360. But please do NOT repeat the question if there is no response.
It is not acceptable to ask for "unpublished papers" or other forms of research/ documentation on wimax360. The real purpose of research is to develop independent fact finding that support your project. In the process you will develop excellent problem solving skills that will help you in your career. We wish you all the best of luck and success in your projects and endeavors,
