In the issue of WiMax vs. WiFi, why can’t we just get along? They both have their place and their price point. WiMax is a technology which aims to deliver ‘real’ high speed data delivery via a portable modem which beams data from the sky. Contrast this with WiFi, which is dependent on a WiFi network which is plugged into a presumable high speed connection. In Canada, WiMax is a nascent product, and in true Canadian fashion, both companies (Bell and Rogers) are reaming us with relatively high prices. With WiMax the real issue isn’t with price, but with this point: currently those modems which deliver the highspeed automagically? They all require an outlet. Which effectively restricts WiMax technology to places with outlets. Like indoor places. Almost like WiFi. And in places where outlets are at a premium, say, in airports, or, say, in coffee shops, or, say, where *ever* road-warriors happen to be, you really *will* have to bring along a powerbar or something. Or, at least a router to share that high-speed love.
