Cisco CTO says WiMax is over-rated

Via Newsfactor Technology News:

The promise of WiMax wireless wide area networking is largely overrated, according to chief technology officer Charles Giancarlo.

"Ninety-eight percent of the population of the developed world is going to be highly wired. We do not think that fixed wireless for the last mile makes a lot of sense," Giancarlo said at Cisco's annual Networkers 2005 user conference.

"Wired technologies are already highly deployed. We do not believe there is a good business model [for WiMax]."
