What I find interesting in WiMax is the possibility that this technology may force Mobile operators to move from the cashcow model to a flat rate model, unlimited access that exists in most countries for fixed broadband. In the end, WiMax may lead to a radical change in Mobile market. Sprint has already indicated that they are planning to do something in these lines.

A interesting market to watch is Korea where a Wimax (Wibro) like network is changing the rules of the game.
Man, I have got to do more reading on this interesting subject!
