Disagree.

Both are wireless broadband, and that is all what counts for the consumer market.

WiMAX in Europe is provided by Internet providers, although cellular providers may (did/will) join.

Of course there are fundamental technical differences between WiMAX (G3 and up to 50 km) and Wifi. WiMax should be an improvement, but currently there are still concerns on interference, range, and the centralised concept. We 'll see.

Regarding the technical differences: both alligators and crocodiles are ugly animals and both with $ and € you can buy a beer; ain't that true !
