The only thing wimax had going for itself was an early start. and the fact that motorola was one of the pioneers in wimax also helped its case, because motorola has always had pride in its innovation. after being muscled out of GSM market, motorola invested big in wimax (and then lte too).<br />but heres the thing, wimax had a very slim chance of becoming the technology of choice in the 4G arena because most of the telecom giants (european big guns like Nokia, ericsson specifically and chinese companies huawei and ZTE who are never shy of providing any solution) were lining up for lte.<br />wimax had its moments in 3rd world countries with no traditional internet service let alone broadband, and it also attracted over-anxious investors with alot of money and very less patience. they wanted to/convinced to get into 4G business (i used the word 'convinced' as an after-thought, because case in point is Wateen telecom, a company of Abu-Dhabi group, which dint have any prior experience of ISPs or broadband, and somehow somebody convinced them it will be a good business investment to launch a 4G wimax network in pakistan. as it turnes out it wasnt a very smart move, with wateen almost going bankrupt and having to sell their shares in public offering).Omar Bin Khalidhttp://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=30416021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191712990857756362.post-82336042236938490392010-07-09T09:34:53.251+01:002010-07-09T09:34:53.251+01:00http://www.lte-experte.de/warum-das-neue-iphone-4-...http://www.lte-experte.de/warum-das-neue-iphone-4-kein-lte-unterstutzt.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
