Nationwide WiMAX: Who Benefits?

You seem to have a big lack of vision. I ran into a lot of people with a similar mindset 20 years ago, when cellular telephony was in its infancy. A lot of financial analysts and rag writers, commented, " I have a phone in my house, and I have a phone on my desk. Why would me or anyone want a phone for the car or else where."
There is built in market for Laptops. I love WiFi but its limited range and availability, and a lack of a standardized carriers are real problems. I have a tough time using my Laptop at Airports consistently. Elsewhere it is a real doubtful case. WiMax ends those issues.

iPhone is just the leading edge of devices, which will make WiMax look brilliant. Presently internet access on cell phones is a joke. Newer devices will make Wimax just as ubiquitous as cell phone coverage.

Maybe cell phones will even dissappear, having being absorbed into iPhone type devices. That is why existing Carriers like Verizon and ATT are the biggest opponents of WiMax. They see the future and are terrified. So they are doing their best trying to derail WiMax. They dont have much of a hope, because WiMax will take off in places like India and other countries without mass internet coverage. This will give WiMax the huge international economies of scale, that the solutions proposed by Verizon, ATT will never take off.
