WiMAX Faster Than DSL & Cable
Intel CEO: WiMAX More Attractive
Intel CEO Craig Barrett Friday predicted that WiMAX would compete
effectively in the consumer broadband market, calling DSL and cable
access "half-assed in terms of speed."
"Most of us who have DSL or cable at home do not have good broadband
but kind of half-ass broadband, which doesn't really allow for good
streaming video or that kind of stuff," Barrett said in an interview
with the Reuters news service.
Barrett said that, while cable and DSL rarely deliver speeds faster
than 5Mbps, WiMAX will deliver twice that speed, which should make it
attractive for many home users.
