Don’t hold your breath for WiMAX, says a story in Network World. True, WiMAX recently got a couple of boosts which brought it off its death bed. (1) Last month, Sprint and Clearwire finally struck a deal to combine their WiMAX businesses. 2) Earlier in June Cisco and Intel gathered up a handful of other companies to share and sell WiMAX patents.)

By 2010, WiMax coverage is expected to be big enough, and support for it to be embedded on enough devices, to become a real option for some enterprise broadband applications.
