Comments on: WiMAX deployments in France hit serious delays: a lesson for WiMAX operators in developed countries? http://www.muniwireless.com/2008/10/29/france-wimax-deployments-severe-delays/ Municipal wireless, citywide WiFi, WiMAX, broadband news Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:07:58 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Kenneth Keen http://www.muniwireless.com/2008/10/29/france-wimax-deployments-severe-delays/comment-page-1/#comment-39361 Kenneth Keen Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:10:37 +0000 http://www.muniwireless.com/?p=8555#comment-39361 Well the date is now 2009 10 09 and perhaps the big guns have seen that by delivering this sort of power to commoners they are liable to loose their grip on things even faster than is presently happening. The sooner they are gone the sooner we can get on with installing today's technology so that people can inform themselves about the possibilities out there ready for the taking. We thankfully no longer have to reply on what those at the top are handing out - they are so outdated that the new small fish are going to be eating them to the bones in just another few months - mark my words. TVA France.

Your comment is fine and very true. Alain's article describes our market situation. We do enjoy affordable broadband DSL (in urban and some rural areas); Wifi is progressing and 3G data also. Challenging days for WiMAX à la française. But upcoming auction of 2,4-2,6 GHz "mobile" frequency bands may help build a new case and the future. Impossible n'est pas français. Thank you again.

In Paris, you pay 30 EUR per month for 50 MBps symmetrical service. I don't think your WiMAX service allows you to get that kind of bandwidth for that kind of price. In addition, most WiMAX service around the world is "fixed WiMAX" or at best "nomadic" WiMAX meaning you need a small modem (not very portable, hassle to walk around with). So perhaps that is why the French aren't rushing ahead to get WiMAX service. French customers have many more broadband options than Americans, most of which are cheaper and have higher bandwidth.

They put the food on the table...no one's eating. Meanwhile, I am writing this to you over Clearwire, America's Number One Wimax ISP and I love it.
