Well I can also tell you a little something about how a business works. You can't rollout a service that doesn't exist yet. Last time I checked (and I am in the wireless business) there is no one making WiMAX gear and I doubt carrier grade HW will even be available within the next year or more. WiMax will only catch on if a big carrier deploys it as who else will carry the cost of the rollout? Starbucks? I doubt it.
Besides I also believe that it does say this is a trial not a plan to roll this out nationally. And as others have said, no one has yet shown an app that will be able to justify the cost of this infrastructure. Sure the other carriers have it, but last I checked most of them we hemoraging money on these types of networks.
Flame away.
