摘要

BuddeComm’s analyses of the 2008 WiMAX market finds that the future of WiMAX remains in niche markets and emerging markets. There may be some good fixed wireless opportunities for WiMAX in regional markets and opportunities for WiMAX also exist in the enterprise segment. Operators in well developed telco markets should be talking about the business models used, rather than appropriating the technology. In the emerging markets, the reason WiMAX is being deployed is simple: in most cases it is the only way to get a broadband connection. This report includes BuddeComm’s analyses of the future of WiMAX and includes recent developments. The report also includes WiMAX statistics and forecasts.
