Why are you interested in WiMAX?: WiMax is the most economical solution for delivering wide area broadband wireless access and it has a lead time of few years compared to other 4G technologies (e.g., LTE). WiMAX will open the door to new applications and services as bandwidth becomes a true commodity in contrast to expensive 3-3.5G data services.
