This is true, but I'll join the ranks of the skeptics unless someone 
can prove otherwise.  Radio has limited bandwidth, and WiMax, like 
GSM, UMTS, HSDPA and other cellular technologies requires a lot of 
serious backhaul bandwidth, especially when you want to service 
thousands of users.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I am rather skeptical.
