Executive Summary
Industry buzz abounds about WiMAX, the next big wireless networking technology. Promoters like Alvarion and Intel imply that it will turn the telecom network upside down — and do everything short of making your coffee in the morning. The reality? WiMAX will indeed have a big global impact on consumers, enterprises, vendors, and telecom operators by making high-speed wireless access cheap and mobile, but not until 2010 or later — because of myriad spectrum, customer premise equipment (CPE) availability, regulatory, cost, and competitive reasons. WiMAX's impact will be gradual in developed countries but more disruptive in emerging markets like India, Brazil, and Russia that have less existing fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
