But Xohm/Sprint was indeed a business failure. That's not a disparagement of them; I have known several brilliant people whose businesses failed for one reason or another. |

Right now, MIDs are coming out, and they have HSPA options. Which means everyone who wants a persistently connected MID is going to buy a non-Nokia MID/IT. By the time Nokia delivers their HSPA version, that ship will probably have sailed. It is my prediction that Nokia has basically given up its leading edge on the MID/IT market, which will in turn mean that they have lost the MID/IT market. |

Just because Nokia delivers late, like they did with touchscreen based smartphones (disregarding that one prototype ;)), does not mean their new products will fail. For example, Nokia 5800 is selling well while competitors have released touchscreen based smartphones months ago already.

Nokia can pick up all these customers, who I think outnumber the early adopters you're considering. Quote:

A technical success isn't much of a success at all if it never gets rolled out enough to be used by enough customers to maintain a business and support that technical success (beta vs VHS, for example). |

I know the frequencies in Germany and the Netherlands are being auctioned as of now, but in the Netherlands there are 5 bids and they also include normal HS*PA. Given there are currently only 3 major telcos (KPN, Vodafone, T-Mobile) with only one WiMAX network in Amsterdam this welcomes room for 2 additional telcos. But in the USA the rollout of WiMAX by Sprint/Clear/XOHM has been slow. A few cities. Still, if you are usually in one of those cities, or have your business there, then this might indeed be a viable option. Now quote, Quote:

I am shocked that a voip/phone with seemingly limitless potencial has been shutdown and i hope another will take its place
the landline and cellphones are out of date and wastefull imo. here is why i cant wait for a wimax voip/phone/ alternative voip phone ex. the HTC MAX™ 4G in Canadian prices: landline w/longdistance 50/month internet(dsl) 40/month cellphone/data plan 100/month 190/month! down with Bell wimax internet 50/month (from bell:confused:) skype w/longdistance 3/month skypein local number 3/month 56/month and i get caller id/voicemail too its not uncommon for 1 person to have 3 phonelines home/cell/work i dont need it. im not a big phone user. i cancled my cell and when i get my n810 and zoom 5900 skype gateway next week the landline will be gone too :D |

My own thoughts on the matter, in response to many IMs, emails, and posts over the past 2 weeks...

It was a great idea but the timing was all wrong. Let's acknowlede this event as a lesson that Nokia is capable of huge failures in execution. I love NIT but there are some on this forum that defend Nokia's every move as being brilliant and carefully calculated. Let's hope this scenario doesn't apply to Maemo 5.

Intel wants WiMAX to lead Obama’s tech initiatives
There may be hope yet for WiMax. |
