Nokia and Intel Group Up To Develop WiMax

WhichHost writes "Nokia and Intel's new alliance is aiming at creating and refining the power of "WiMax" as a new form of mobile-WiFi for devices such as laptops, cell-phones, etc. This is just the first step in making high-speed wireless networking available to the entire world. Covered at InformationWeek and Forbes as well." From the article: "Nokia and Intel Corp.'s development plans focus on mobile WiMax, which allows for roaming among base stations, as opposed to fixed WiMax, which is considered a replacement for DSL and cable lines."

Troll? No, it's not a troll. "Stuff that matters" is stuff that's from the last 24 hours. Stuff that's 4 days old doesn't matter anymore.

If we all just wait six months

SBC will be offering WiMax for $19.99 a month which you can use on your $300 laptop.

Or you can pay thousands of dollars - for the same thing - now.

The market cares nothing for your desires, and tech is just another commodity. So long as Japanese girls buy it, it will be made available.
