OT WiMax possibilities This is wireless broadband with 30 mile range and 70 megabits per second transfer rate. Wow. Imagine a hotspot with a 30 mile radius. That's 2,827 square miles per WiMax network, enough range to cover even the largest major metropolitan area. demographia.com Let's not leave out the rural areas though. A grid of 100 WiMax towers every 30 miles apart from NY to San Francisco and maybe 35 north to south and voila, ubiquitous wireless access for everyone in the continental US with only about 3,500 WiMax networks. Of course, that assumes that not too many are simultaneously downloading Terminator 3. Anyone know what the theoretical capacity is over such a network? Sam
