Hey everyone

anyone out there with WiMax that wants to post some scores and some pictures of their antenas?

i have been reading some about it.

It can achieve speeds up to 270Mbps, over a distance of 30miles (48.9Km).

hard to believe, well it has to be on Line Of Sight (LOS) and has to be sunny, but still 270Mbps mannnn

It is expected however that Wi-Fi

I think that it is still in testing at this point... If it is available it would be in a limited market where line of site would be available.. like county communities where other land based options would not be practical for the company to invest in.

here is a pic of a dude and his antenna.. it is on the top of a silo.. so line of site is important!!! http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2004-07-14-wireless_x.htm
