Hi Eric,
<< Sorry to hear that you even entertain the suggestions of censors and people who would dictate with whom or what you should discuss, given their druthers. >>
It's not censorship, Rob, by any stretch of any one's imagination. It is simply an exercise of judgment and restraint. It's like deciding whether or not one's own self should feed wild geese, squirrels, or pigeons, in habitats one's self frequents. SFX made a recommendation, and I concur with it. I'm sure there are individuals that exercise restraint in responding to my posts, and that is as it should be.
<< As for your roadmap for wimax, let's just say it is showing a significant divergence from the Chinese and Korean roadmaps. >>
No, it is not, Rob. If you take the time to outline your rationale for stating that, I'd be delighted to dialogue with you on the subject, but if your just talking for the sake of hearing yourself talk, I'm not particularly interested.
<< Ask Siemens or Intel if you want an objective viewpoint... >>
I have a reasonably clear picture of where Siemens and Alcatel, who followed Nokia into the WiMax Forum, feel that WiMax fits in the evolving world of wireless data.
As for Intel, who is leading this technology push, let's face it - for all their strengths, and despite all their wasted resources, and wheel spinning, they have not yet established themselves as a mobile wireless superpower.
To the contrary, they are a wireless data wannabe, that derives considerably less share of their annual revenue from wireless. I am sure not ruling them out as a contender going forward, but there success will not be as the proprietor of a de facto proprietary open standard like the one they spawned with the Beast from Redmond that currently rules the enterprise and the home desktop market ... and oh, yeah, I do hold INTC and MSFT and follow both closely.
<< I'm sure in the end, every technology that survives will end up being complementary. Too bad wCDMA won't be one of them. ... >>
The fact of the matter, Rob, is that IEEE 802,16x is CONSIDERABLY less mature than 3GPP's 3GSM DS WCDMA standard, or CDMA2000 or 1xEV-DO, and its applicability and its fate is CONSIDERABLY less certain.
In terms of technology adoption amongst MOBILE wireless carriers, WiMAx has mostly tire kickers.
G3G, by contrast has real live adopters, and not just the innovators, pragmatists, or early majority who have put their money where their mouth is, in terms of acquiring licenses in WRC spectrum reserved for 2nd and 3rd generation cellular MOBILE wireless technologies, in terms of evolving their network cores, in terms of long, arduous, participation in committee with their vendors, and in terms of ongoing investments in radio access networks that will serve a growing mobile subscriber base that now numbers in excess of 1.4 million subscribers, and which is growing at > 20% per year.
Best,
