Since I do respect your knowledge of wireless technologies, what are
your thoughts on WiMax?  Does 802.16 indeed have any tangible benefits
over 802.11?  What about implementational differences?  Anyone have
anything promising?  The rags say WiMax is supposed to service people up
to 10 miles... but that's not really that informational, since the
record length for 802.11 is 86miles, and 30miles is already achievable
with a yagi.  Does the .16 have increased power so this 10 miles can be
using an omni?  The spectrum is higher so wouldn't it be more likely to
attenuate with weather (perhaps insignificantly)?

Thanks.
