I can't even express how insanely shortsighted that statement is. Meh, private WLANs, who needs 'em?

As I understand WIMAX requires licensed specturm, where WLAN is unlicensed.

So, the only one going to give you WIMAX is your carrier. (And I'm sure everyone is happy with thier current billing and service)

While with WLAn, you still can put a 802.11n hotspot in your home and share that with your neighbors.

I could be wrong, but I don't see WIMAX replacing WLAN in anyway in the future, unless a version that uses unlicensed spectrum comes out.]]>Mar 14th 2007 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/802-11n-creeps-closer-to-finality-as-draft-2-0-reaches-milestone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/802-11n-creeps-closer-to-finality-as-draft-2-0-reaches-milestone/
Are you just kidding me here or is this for real? I know the IEEE is a very saggy group and takes forever to make the smallest decisions. But April 2009 as an official release date, that is pushing it. I figured itd get a little bit delayed and everything, but that it would come out sometime in 2007.

So it is def not coming out anytime before 2009?]]>Mar 15th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/802-11n-creeps-closer-to-finality-as-draft-2-0-reaches-milestone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/14/802-11n-creeps-closer-to-finality-as-draft-2-0-reaches-milestone/Also, there is no guarantee that final equipment will work with equipment based on Draft 2.0. The draft can change throughout this process.]]>Mar 15th 2007 8:14PM
