there's people outside of cities still using dial-up (very few) but atleast this would allow for more interesting mesh networks :]
carriers have to start pumping those profits back into wireless systems - it's just easier to replace, reprogram, reset over the air instead of dispatching a tech. So we're going to have unemployed wiring guys in the next 10 years :[
No what I meant was, suppose I wanted to run Wimax outta my house. Are the carriers going to be able to keep Wimax routers from being sold to the general public, or are they just going to be prohibitively expensive.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
How hard and expensive is it going to be to get a Wimax router?

The WiMax equipment is expensive and big, for a commercial base station anyway. Its costly enough to be unpractical for home use. For now, anyway.
