Abstract
Overview
The vision of a fully mobile broadband service which addresses the needs of
the consumer has captured the attention of most of the major providers and
vendors in the world. What characterizes the technology roll-out is a
divergence of approaches which has a direct impact on the various business
models and is relative to revenue streams. The market drivers of the wireless
broadband services are from three sources; the vendors, the providers and the
standards organizations. The playing field is set, the players are in place
and now the game begins. Which ones will win?
This report evaluates the current state of the WiMAX value chain, vendors,
service providers, and solutions as well as the future prospects of WiMAX.
