This new WiMax technology will cover the whole world instead of covering certain areas or cities. Intel is facing a tough competition from the mobile phone networks as they are trying to make the mobile phone internet service faster to keep a competitive edge but Intel has promised that this technology by Intel will beat all the other WiMax broadband services in terms of speed and coverage both. One can just imagine how much quick the life is going to be in future as the technology is making things faster and simpler for us.
