WiMAX body slam met with pile driver from its many backers
24 March 2008
Over the weekend, a story surfaced about an Australian WiMAX operator that had massive problems with WiMAX. Buzz Broadband ultimately shut down its network after a year of operation, with the company's CEO calling it a "disaster" that "failed miserably" during remarks made at a WiMAX conference in Bangkok last week. The timing of the remarks is inopportune for Sprint, which is currently testing its Xohm WiMAX network in advance of its public launch in the next couple of months, but the technology's backers see Buzz's experience as an anomaly and predict a bright future for WiMAX.
