The bandwidth and range of WiMAX make it suitable for the following potential applications:
* Connecting Wi-Fi hotspots with other parts of the Internet. * Providing a wireless alternative to cable and DSL for "last mile" broadband access. * Providing data and telecommunications services. * Providing a source of Internet connectivity as part of a business continuity plan. That is, if a business has a fixed and a wireless Internet connection, especially from unrelated providers, they are unlikely to be affected by the same service outage. * Providing portable connectivity.

Unfortunately the cost associated with increasing the range will be a big hit on Sevens/ENG balance sheet, but one positive i guess is...
"At the time, Freeman said that his company had signed 10% of its 55,000 user target market in just two months, a market share that rose to 25%, on the back of an advertising campaign that highlighted value VoIP prices".
Definitely not discounting Wimax but it will be a big balance sheet burden at its present stages. Id prefer MNF to sit back and focus on customer growth. Then MNF will be a strong takeover target ie 25% percent 'addon' internal marketshare on an existing (and growing) customer base is worth a tad more than $8million (MNF market cap) imo
The more MNF's customer growth continues the more value she attains. Directors have been buying in 14-17range. Im in there with em.
