DALLAS-The worldwide WiMAX market is expected to reach $3.5 billion and account for 4 percent of all broadband usage by 2010, according to a new report from idate.
The growth will be driven by new equipment and an increasing number of WiMAX trials and deployments, said the firm. The report also said WiMAX is attracting a variety of leading equipment manufacturers and many are forming strategic partnerships. In addition, delays in allocations and licensing by worldwide regulatory agencies, coupled with a lack of a common worldwide frequency band for WiMAX, could slow deployment, said the report.
