Thanks for the insight. I'm going to do some reading into the US/Canadian Wimax situation.

I'm a bit confused. How will standard fragmentation make something like temporary subscriptions difficult?

I suppose my concern with the large telcos largely in control of Wimax, they may drag their heels with its wide-spread implementation while blocking other competitors from the market.

YARR!
