WiMAX 2 Coming Next Year

The US is still getting comfortable with WiMAX and now there's word that a revision being called WiMAX 2 is being planned for testing in 2011. If all goes well, Clearwire will start rolling out 802.16m in 2012. Any of you guys using WiMAX yet? What do you think?

So what do we know about this WiMAX sequel? Well for one, it will be backward compatible with 802.16e, the WiMAX standard currently used by operators in the United States. This means that when Clearwire upgrades to the new standard it will be able to do so at a relatively low cost and with minimal disruption.
