Intel says WiMAX will reach a billion by 2012
Author: Tim SmalleyPublished: 22nd August 2008
Craig Barrett reckons that WiMAX will reach 50 million by the end of the year and a billion people by 2012.
However, it wouldn’t be an Intel Developer Forum without at least one mention of the technology. This time around, it was left to Craig Barrett to bang the drum.
He claimed that WiMAX would reach 50 million by the end of the year, and by 2012, the technology should have reached a billion people.
Barrett said that many of those reached by Intel’s latest wireless technology will be in developing nations like India.
Do you think WiMAX will be adopted as quickly as Intel hopes? Discuss in the forums.

thanks intel
what needs to happen is for the private ISP companies to disappear or to join together, and rather than pay them a monthly fee, everyone pays a little extra on there concil tax each year and WiMax for the whole area, ideally a 2mb/s connection because really a home user dosen't need anything much faster, if you do then your a torrent git! Then we can all get online really easy!
More and more services are becoming web based, like applying for a TV licence, Drivers licence, and even paying some bills.
nope, it won't be free, that's for sure. :)
2mb/s. Tch.
:)
What do you use that bandwidth for? 8mb/s is bloody fast, not the fastest but still!
You must know some stupid people. Unless you know people who just know absalutley nothing about ICT.
