Not exactly. There is not necessarily any connection between decisions involving wimax vs hsdpa, except for the fact that it makes sense to address different network types. It really is too early to tell with Xohm, but it is a 4G technology and one or more of such will certainly prosper. Keep in mind Nokia is equally vested in LTE technology (on the network side).

And if wimax eventually fails, the tablets designed for it can still function just as those without.
