While WiMax appears to be set for commercial deployment in some U.S. markets by year-end, the technology itself has been plagued by various fits and starts.
One of its biggest problems has been at the carrier level, where only Sprint-Nextel has adopted it as its 4G technology of choice. While Sprint had initially billed itself as "the 800-pound gorilla in WiMax," the carrier has gone through a period of turmoil over the past year and is still working on turning itself around.
Things seemed to be going in the right direction last summer when Sprint and Clearwire signed a letter of intent to jointly build out a nationwide WiMax network, but their plans fell apart soon after then-Sprint CEO Gary Forsee, who had been instrumental in investing in WiMax, resigned under investor pressure. Officially, the two companies said they "could not resolve complexities" involved in the original plan for building out a nationwide WiMax network, although they continued to negotiate with one another on an alternative plan.
WiMax enthusiasts were finally rewarded for their patience last month when Sprint and Clearwire finally struck a deal to combine their WiMax businesses and create a new $14.5 billion mobile broadband company. In addition to combining their own businesses, the companies also secured $3.2 billion in total investments from several major technology and communications companies, including Google, Intel, Comcast, Time-Warner Cable, and Bright House Networks. The two companies also recently joined Cisco and Intel in creating a WiMax patent pool to help spur on WiMax innovation.
But although WiMax is certainly back on track, it is unlikely that the technology will be making a huge impact on enterprise IT services by year-end. In the first place, Sprint's commercial WiMax network has only been soft-launched so far in Chicago, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Additionally, the commercial WiMax network only met Sprint's own commercial-deployment standards last month, and the company has yet to set a firm date for when WiMax will be fully commercially deployed on a nationwide basis.
"By the end of the year, we're unlikely to see WiMax as an across-company enterprise service, because it won't be deployed broadly enough in North America to sign on to it as a utility-type service," says Forrester analyst Chris Silva. "You'll be able to use it where cellular data coverage is not that great, but it will not be a viable full replacement for cellular data coverage this year."
Companies might also want to consider the status of WiMax's competition when evaluating whether to use it for wireless broadband in the near future. In terms of carrier selection, WiMax is getting blown out of the water by Long Term Evolution ( LTE), the GSM-based 4G technology that is scheduled to be supported by AT&T , Verizon and T-Mobile. While WiMAX is still projected to have nearly a two-year time-to-market advantage over LTE, Silva notes that any further delays could cause companies to simply wait until LTE services hit the market before investing in 4G services.
"When enterprises start thinking about investing in 4G services, they'll have to be thinking about whether it will make more sense to wait for LTE," he says. "In the end, WiMax's success may come down to its price value in comparison to LTE." ( Compare WiMax products.)

When I heard Speed Racer was coming to Nicktoons, I figured it was the original cartoon, but no such luck. Instead, a newer version is being created to (not) coincide with the upcoming live-action film version from the Wachowski brothers (The Matrix), although having both debuting around the same time will definitely result in the kind of synergy studios crave.
The new Speed Racer 'toon is being produced through Lionsgate and Animation Collective, the studio behind Kappa Mikey, an anime-inspired comedy that also airs on Nicktoons.

(InfoWorld) - A U.K. startup specializing in offering Internet telephone service via certain Nokia Wi-Fi enabled cellphones is making few friends with mobile operators, signalling tension ahead in the high stakes mobile phone industry.
Software Cellular Network, which operates under the name Truphone, has clashed with T-Mobile UK over termination fees, resulting in some calls from Truphone customers not being connected by the mobile phone operator, Truphone CEO James Tagg said Tuesday.
The row with T-Mobile follows a confrontation in April with O2 (UK)?and Orange Personal Communications Services?over both operators' decision to lock the VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) function featured in Nokia's new N95 phone.
Truphone's struggles to establish a VOIP service to compete with mobile operators' cash-cow circuit-switched voice service reflect the tension in the mobile phone sector as the disruptive Internet technology gains momentum.
Analysts agree. There's a "big fear of mobile VOIP ripping away large chunks" of operators' ARPU (average revenue per user), said Pete Cunningham, an analyst with Canalys.com. "Voice is the largest contributor to their ARPU."
T-Mobile is not accepting calls from Truphone customers using a new range of telephone numbers until the two companies can agree to fees, according to T-Mobile spokesman Simon Marks.
Operators charge each other fees to complete calls on their networks. Calls to mobile phone networks in Europe cost more because operators charge a higher fee to receive calls on their networks. The fees are intended largely to help operators recoup their investments in building and operating networks.
T-Mobile argues that Truphone hasn't built a network and consequently shouldn't be allowed to charge much, if anything, to terminate calls on its network.
Truphone offers a software-based communications service that allows users with dual-mode Nokia cellular and Wi-Fi phones running its application to make and receive inexpensive VOIP calls whenever they are within reach of a wireless network. Calls made to Truphone customers outside a Wi-Fi zone are automatically routed to their cell phones and billed by their mobile operator.
To access the Truphone service, customers must access a Wi-Fi network, which may require paying a fee.
Truphone's Tagg admits the company has low operating costs, employing a staff of around 30.
"Termination rates are meant to reflect the costs of making calls," Marks said. "We don't believe that Truphone's costs are reflected in their termination rates. Their actual operating costs are near zero. They're trying to use high termination fees to make a profit."
Tagg, on the other hand, argues that no other carrier except for T-Mobile has required Truphone to negotiate termination fees, which are regulated in the U.K. for calls on 2G (second-generation) networks. Carriers publish their termination prices for 3G (third-generation) networks.
"This isn't how the industry works," he said, referring to T-Mobile's demand to negotiate termination fees. "Truphone is a disruptive technology -- it's a threat, and they're scared."
T-Mobile initially blocked VOIP service over its handsets but has since supported it. Unlike Vodafone and Orange, the U.K. subsidiary of German telco Deutsche Telekom?doesn't block customers from installing and using mobile VOIP services such as Fring on its phones, according to Marks. "We're fully supportive of VOIP service."
Although Vodafone continues to terminate Truphone calls on its mobile network and pay the VOIP operator to complete Vodafone calls on its Wi-Fi network, the U.K. mobile phone operator isn't rushing into VOIP.
In an earlier statement, the company said it believes that VOIP over mobile is not yet a mature service and doesn't have guaranteed quality of service.
Vodafone is reluctant to talk about VOIP over mobile networks.
Analyst Cunningham agrees with quality of service concerns but argues that all mobile operators will nevertheless have to embrace VOIP because, he said, "it isn't going away."
He expects many operators to lower their voice tariffs to make them competitive with VOIP and also offer high-speed mobile and/or wireless broadband services as part of a multiservice strategy to lock them into one billing relationship.
