internet - Wimax heading for China

As the deployment of 3G is still lingering, alternative equipment for mobile broadband communication will hit China at the beginning of 2007, says Hwan Woo Chung, a vice president of Samsung Mobile Wimax in CIO.com. Wimax is providing at low cost, lower than 3G, broadband connections that are faster than those provided by 3G.
Wimax is mostly seen as an alternative for 3G for example in rural areas with few customers, but could easily develop into a competitor if it is put in place on a larger scale before 3G. His current customers in China want to use Wimax for special events, says the Samsung representative, not for national deployment.
