WiMAX sales to be worth ‘billions’ by 2008
By 2008, worldwide sales for WiMAX equipment will be billions of euros, but over half of it will be for customer premise equipment. WiMAX, a new form of broadband wireless access, helps shift the economics of broadband to make it cheaper than ever to deploy. However, argue the analysts, WiMAX providers will need to bundle wireless broadband services with voice over internet protocol (VoIP), so that consumers will save money every month, even though they are upgrading from dial-up internet access to broadband.
