US Poll: Nationwide WiMax Unlikely in 2008
Only 22 percent of Unstrung readers believe the United States will have a nationwide WiMax network deployed next year.
That's one striking result from the latest Unstrung poll, following hard on the heels of the dissolution of the Clearwire LLC and Sprint Nextel Corp. WiMax deployment deal. That separation is indicative of the chill breeze blowing through the market at the moment.
In earlier reader polls on mobile WiMax, a more sizeable chunk of readers was confident about the technology's prospects. In April, 48 percent of respondents to one poll expected to see a network deployed in 2008.
