Asus remains bullish on the prospect of WiMax around the globe, according to DigiTimes. I tend to agree. While we in the USA are getting LTE’d to death, and where we’re beginning to see more clearly what the Clear strategy is, in other parts of the world WiMax is growing and manufacturers are supporting it.
This is WiMax, not to be confused with Mobile WiMax which is what Clear is offering. WiMax, or Fixed WiMax is IP connectivity at wireline speeds but without the wire and is flourishing around the globe, in more places all the time.
I like what Clear is doing and they seem to have improved their offering. I would love to drop boring/expensive/no-innovation Time Warner and use Clear’s Home offering (6Mbps down/1Mbps up). However, I use Ooma for home phone and reviews are rife with stores of poor performance for 3rd party VOIP on Clear. I understand that pings and latency will likely always be less robust on wireless vs wired connections, but it would be great to have another high-speed option.
