My impression of WiMax so far is not favourable. The proposed advantage claimed of WiMax was that it would be available years before LTE (Long Term Evolution) which is basically the next mobile upgrade to 3G. Each day that passes shows that this is unlikely to be the case. WiMax is well behind schedule and LTE is ahead of schedule. Also due to frequency issues (Wimax is normally in the 2.5 or 3.5GHz bands) it's potential for use in urban areas is extremely limited. I cannot see how WiMax operators in developed markets will be successful, and I definitely wouldn't be betting a whole lot of money on a WiMax stock.
