Well, last i checked, WiMax (like 11a,g etc types of WiFi before it) is a real standards based wireless network technology that operates in the UNLICENSED spectrum - WiBro is a purely Korean standard that uses LICENSED spectrum - i.e. any WiBro hotspot / towers or whatever can only be operated by companies who pay govenerments for the use of the spectrum. Pretty big difference - as big as the difference between say, Wifi and CDMA. WiBro = a flavor of WiMax? I don't think so - but i guess it depends on how you define it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rsc1000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 7th 2006 3:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung shows off Wibro notebook]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/07/samsung-shows-off-wibro-notebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/07/samsung-shows-off-wibro-notebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[It sounds like "Why Bro?" to me.

It was invented by Koreans that doesnt mean it is exclusive to Korea. Infact, SprintNextel - among other carriers- are currently running trials of wibro.<br><br><br><br>To say that Wimax is only for unlicensed frequency is plain wrong. The original definition extends ranges from 900mhz up to 11ghz. However, it is becoming obvious that 2.3ghz - 2.4ghz; 2.5ghz - 2.6 ghz; 3.5ghz (not available in the USA) and 5.8ghz (license free) will be the most popular frequencies.<br><br><br><br>Regarding the mobile wimax (802.16e) the realistic frequencies will be 2.3 - 2.6ghz - considering the distance limitations of higher frequencies.<br><br><br><br>Towerstream inpelemtaions of fixed wimax (802.16-2004) in Boston / New York, and intel trials in Las Vegas acheieves speed in excess of 14mbps; to say wimax is limited to 2mps is simply not true. Realistically, Mobile wimax should cap at about 2mbps this compares extremely well with the cell network 3G networks with speeds of 150kbps - 750kbps.<br><br><br><br>For those still singing the "hype" hymn of the telcos... I just hope you are being paid enough for that cos beileve it or not, WIMAX IS HERE TO STAY with or without your approval.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[frank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2006 6:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung shows off Wibro notebook]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/07/samsung-shows-off-wibro-notebook/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/07/samsung-shows-off-wibro-notebook/</guid><description><![CDATA[Correction: 17.
