I'd be interested to hear what you mean by "vaporware" WIMAX is available now in it's fixed location form. As a Clearwire customer, that is what I'm using as I write. Clearwire is making progress towards mobile WIMAX. See article here: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...earwire17.html
I'm disappointed by the monthly cost for their lap top mobile card service of $60 per month. Hopefully the NIT version will be far cheaper than that.

Bottom line though, I think there is plenty of reason to be optomistic about WIMAX because of the much easier deployment of service in billion person markets like India.

I have no idea what Nokias progress is for the inclusion of a WIMAX
chip. But I'm guessing it's going to happen very soon. I bet we see it in the next year or so.
