I was not commenting if Intel was going to make any money selling WiMax chips. Intel has the advantage the first mover, but it remains to be seen if it will have a sustainable advantage since there are plenty of other players.

Intel should have an advantage for chipsets with WiMax built in, but that would probably be the only area. Samsung built the infrastructure in Korea and they along with Motorola/Intel are doing the infrastructure for Sprint. In stand alone chips for handsets and ultra-mobile PCs, I think there are dozens of companies with some big ones like Samsung and Freescale. That sounds like almost a commodity market.

Saturn,

However Intel pioneered Ethernet also. It may not have made much money from that.

IIRC, 3Com was the Ethernet pioneer. Intel moved in when the market was well established (with every business PC already networked and having an Ethernet card), as part of diversification trend at the time (at Intel).
