IMHO, WiMAX has a short window for success before it loses any advantage it may have to existing technologies.

Not too long back, Athens, GA was the posterchild for the concept of flooding the downtown hub of a college town with free wifi and little meshnets. Bellsouth seems to feel otherwise. I have to wonder if the concept of multiple WiMAX deployments in a specific service area is going to become a reality or if there's a first-mover advantage here that defeats the purpose (or marginalizes the longer-term viability of the deployment) as others enter at lower barriers to entry when the WiMAX gear becomes more easily justifiable.
