Wimax will kill the WiFi star
Well more people are piling onto a prediction I made over a year ago that there won't be any profitable business in retail WiFi access points. Wireless VC Losses 'Max'imized :: AO. There are two forces conspiring against commercial WiFi. First is FREE. Why pay when there are 100x more free access points around? Converage of free access points in Seattle is now far superior to commercial spots. The second is the oncoming WiMax. WiMax access points will be $400 at Amazon next year. And $200 in 2006. Why slurp WiFi when you can get the firehose of WiMax?
