U.S. Wireless begins Pre-WiMax deployment

Hmmm. Yesterday it was BellSouth announcing that it will begin a "Pre-WiMax" network trial, and today it's U.S. Wireless announcing a much larger Pre-WiMax deployment.

One can only wonder if that if the WiMax specification changes significantly (or at all, for that matter) from what is deployed today, we'll simply have a bunch of incompatible WiMax technology deployments.

I certainly understand the time-to-market issues involved in deploying any product in a competitive market, but you simply can't turn a blind eye to compatibility issues that may come back to haunt you. Then again, I'm an engineer, not a business analyst. :-)
