WhichHost writes "Nokia and Intel's new alliance is aiming at creating and refining the power of "WiMax" as a new form of mobile-WiFi for devices such as laptops, cell-phones, etc. This is just the first step in making high-speed wireless networking available to the entire world. Covered at InformationWeek and Forbes as well." From the article: "Nokia and Intel Corp.'s development plans focus on mobile WiMax, which allows for roaming among base stations, as opposed to fixed WiMax, which is considered a replacement for DSL and cable lines."

Thanks editors for posting another week old story to the front page. What ever happened to being at the forefront of the news game? I remember when this was the place to get information ahead of everyone else... Now we get links to 4 day old articles that I know I read about even before that.

Are you too busy approving stuff in the submission queue that is really just duplicates of what we have already read?

Get with it.

Food, not bits.

Great, I'm sure the starving people of Africa will appreciate being able to get access to their corporate email everywhere, all the time, on their Treos.
