Business Wire, Jan 19, 2005

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c12021) has announced the addition of WiMAX: The Rebel Broadband to their offering

st because WiMAX has been the centre of a lot of attention lately does not mean that it is all hype and no substance. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Currently, there is a large number of companies actively promoting WiMAX, with nearly 200 in its WiMAX forum. It also has opportunities before it to not only be a potentially cheaper way of providing broadband - both in the US and abroad - but it also can be used as a means to provide backhaul for cellular BTSs, as well as, eventually, providing an alternative to the high cost of using a mobile phone.

However, there are still a reasonable amount of unknowns involved with WiMAX, so, in this report, we provide three different scenarios for how WiMAX will be used in the US and a detailed forecast for each perspective.

- Local WISPs adopting WiMAX to be more cost effective

- National companies rollout combined WiMAX VoIP services

- National companies offer combined WiMAX VoIP Satellite TV services

Taking to the most likely scenario, the second of the above, we also provide a worldwide forecast for WiMAX market, including its use as a backhaul technology.

This WiMAX report also provides a detailed technical backgrounder and an expansive market overview so that the reader is fully versed in all the pertinent aspects of WiMAX.
