It is more wish than reality to say that DSL will follow the route of dial-up. With Wateen having already closed its business offices and taken other downward steps, one does not expect WiMAX to replace DSL, especially in view of very attractive packages that PTC is offering, such as unlimited phone calls and unlimited downloads. With the biggest WiMAX operator downsizing Internet services, how can it replace DSL any time soon?

Your understanding is somehow correct and incorrect. LTE is the future no doubt but it is for mobility. Means operators like GSM would take that and it will give more capacity.

These wimax operators are fixed. They are in losses because of bad planning and competition. Wateen burnt money without business plan. Witribe on other hand has started being profitable. Two points to note

- LTE would help if these networks were choked. Both at moment are not behind 70%
- from wimaxforum you can see that there is no major difference in throughput

I second you. Writer is over optimistic about wimax (perhaps working in any company out of these 4 wimax operators). wimax is going to history very soon like amps or any other obsolete technology.

I wonder if the writer has actually the idea of what is happening in the technology world?? LTE is the future…. WIMAX is a failure around the world, i wonder how can someone predict WIMAX as the future….WIMAX is still struggling in Pakistan and i dont see any future of it, all WIMAX companies are the the verge of collapse… people who are in this industry knows very well the situation of all WIMAX operators in Pakistan

I wonder if World Call wireless USB dongle, and PTCL Evo brand (3G etc) can be considered Wimax? By the way I am using PTCL Nitro cloud and it is kinda awesome.
