With "Flaky PC tech stuff" I mean that there is a vast difference in how well it will work. As an example I take the absurd difficulties in making a video connection from PC to PC. The amount of drivers, programs (incompatible) etc you have to get right is absurd.
With 3G I make a video call from Singapore to my sister in Sweden without any hassle. You buy a phone and it will just work.
Compared again to my strugles to maintain a WIFI connection in my apartment (not working very well at all). Signal strength, driver quality etc makes it impossible to guarantee connection. All of a sudden the connection is down and a restart is required to get it working again.
That is PC quality as compared to telecom quality. The same will be the case with WIMAX.
So I would definitely prefer HSDPA over WIMAX any day, because it will work.
WIMAX is no different in the BW sense than 3G with HSDPA. It is a shared bandwidth. But since HSDPA will have 3.6 Mbps from Q4-05/Q1-06 in real life and 14 Mbps soon to follow it is hard to see an excellent bussiness case for WIMAX.
One technology is flaky PC tech stuff, the other sturdy telecom grade.

I'm amazed it's so cheap to buy off and control the Pharmaceuticals/Health Products business.n d=H04&cycle=2006

Only ~15 MUSD a year to buy off the whole political establishment.

That's an extremely effective investment.
What if they were just as effective when developing new products
It was designed to work with full mobility and behaves perfectly while you are in a car.
Unlike technologies such as Wi-fi and Wimax.
and this is exactly why 3G and HSDPA will rule.

This is logical since the organism that can change fastest wins.

So store up potential until you need it.
This isn't sensational, it has to be.
