This week’s Switched On, the second of a two-parter, focuses on some of the business issues around building WiMAX into devices such as digital cameras and MP3 players. In the course of researching the column, I came across this informative article detailing Clearwire’s role in the Xohm rollout. Of note, the agreement is slated for 20 years, with an option to extend it for another 30. That’s a long-term play in this (or just about any) business.
I don’t think they’ll still be working on wimax in 20 years.
