When Wifi modules were introduced in 2003, no one had predicted that a Laptop or a PDA / Mobile without WiFi will be unthikable within the next 5 years! But we are at that point today.
The prediction about mobile WiMAX is just the same- it will be omnipresent in all laptops and mobile computing devices by 2010. Will it replace WiFi? Perhaps not, but there would be roaming between WiFi and WiMAX.
It is good that such a preview happened at Taiwan, a markrt which has understood the true value of WiMAX and is its largest user through the M- Taiwan program.
