WiMAX is dead because LTE won the standards war. LTE data is currently crazy-expensive in the US, but that's not really a technical problem.

- hayksaakian 13y agoyou may be nitpicking, there's no reason a wimax like service (wireless internet) couldn't be provided with LTE wimax/lte is not the problen
- p1mrx 13y agoYes, that was my point; I'm not concerned by the death of WiMAX as a protocol, because LTE is functionally equivalent. The problem is that LTE is not currently a viable competitor to wired Internet services, because the providers have set the prices too high and the caps too low.
