[HIB]Operators want WiMAX fully mobile by 2012

Most WiMAX operators plan to offer their services for mobile users by 2012, providing enough smartphones are developed that can actually handle the technology says a report by Infonetics Research. WiMAX is currently limited by a number of factors and is mainly employed for nomadic broadband services, but most operators want that to change in the near future. Two-thirds of the 25 operators asked want to offer WiMAX for mobile broadband within the next two years. The survey also found that 90 percent of operators anticipate offering VoIP through WiMAX by the same period, hoping to make the proto-4G technology the next big thing; that is if LTE doesn't win the day as some soothsayers sooth.
