WiMax Technology Could Blanket the US?
obiwan2u writes "According to an article on WiMaxTrends, the metropolitan area wireless networking technology (MLAN) called WiMax could reach 90% of the mainland US population if about $3 billion was spent on infrastructure. The 802.16 standard specifies a max range of about 30 miles and a max speed of about 70 Mbits/sec, but typical ranges and speeds will typically be smaller. 802.16/WiMax specifies various licensed (3.5Ghz) and unlicensed (5Ghz) frequency ranges but the unlicensed ranges have Wi-Fi like transmitting power restrictions. More background on this technology can be seen at: WiMax starting to make its move and 802.16: Medium distance wireless networking that could change the world?"
Quantum computing is slowly becoming a reality and wireless security will be useless. Wouldn't it be better to get the whole quantum entanglement thing happening?
ahhh, iraq. the GAO's "other pants," as it were.
DO NOT GO TO THE SITE listed in the Parent. It attempts to install a Trojan.

I'm glad someone modded that funny. People who think like that deserve to be ridiculed.
Give a man fire, and you warm him for the night. Set a man on fire, and you warm him for the rest of his life.
They certainly do. Sensible people like you have a bunker in case of Terrorist attacks, and have the Terrorist threat advisory on their homepage.
Good for you.
how in god's holy balls did this get modded "funny" and not +1000 troll? you must have a real axe to grind to turn a post about the spread of WiMax into an opportuntiy for america bashing.
