How much does Sprints NAMBLA service cost? If it is expensive it makes the whole wimax thing pretty useless to me.

he works at the place, and if he talks about it, he would breach a nda thats part of his work contract, or something like that...
so all in all, unless its a released device the rat talks about, ignore the beast, nothing good will come from paying attention...

On a related note, why does everybody seem to think WiMAX is some sort of magic bullet for data access on-the-go? Do we have any potential pricing scales? Data limits? Coverage (is it going to be as spotty as 3g)? Personally, I just don't see it being as great as everybody thinks it will be.

In other Nokia news, I found this interesting reading. Just the isolated fact that Nokia has sold more than twenty million phones in China is pretty impressive.
Nokia posts big increase in profit:

Yes, WiMAX won't be for everyone, especially if it will only roll-out on just the major cities early this year. The hype however is, it is backed up by some interesting big players such as Nokia, Intel, Motorola, Samsung. The Intel MIDs are coming out with integrated WiMAX. Nokia might be the first one to release a WiMAX tablet though.
FYI, WiMAX speeds on earlier reports say that it will be 3-4Mbps down and 1Mbps up.
