Not all-or-nothing. There's a place for WiMax
The most successful networks and network business models are typically those that can most flexibly deliver a mix of high value applications, content, and services. Voice is increasingly a commodity, and 3G voice network providers face the prospect of becoming "dumb pipes" with low profits. Certainly, providers in the most mature European markets are already seeing difficulty in replacing declining voice revenues and profits with premium data services on their networks. Service providers need WiMax because it is much better suited for these applications. In addition, WiMax's economics are much better for aggregating rural traffic and bringing broadband connectivity to many under-served regions in the US. The UDS market is big, and certainly not homogenous, requiring a mix of technologies and network designs.
