hahaahhaahhahahahahaahha
very very funny WIMAX, i though their coverage can arrive 50KM radius size hahahah, i think is not liao hhahahahahahhah.
My office is at Jln BUKIT BINTANG which is interchange Jln Tun Razak. you know what, there say our place didnt have coverage so cant use their service hahahahaahhahahahaha ridiculous. very very funny.
that mean even the same road is not really have the coverage lah so becareful lah you all out there, ask properly which is ur place then only applied lah

.
I too feel funny on your shallow understanding of the technology based on your criticism above.
Having a little understanding on the RF technology will help you to know more about mobile technology. WiMAX is the technology but the coverage is determined by RF condition, same applies to GSM/3G/CDMA etc. Our government too limits the EIRP for basestation and device output power that limits the size of allowable coverage for the sake of the health of the people.
Which book that you read told you RF coverage is based on "road name"? Life will get much simpler in that case, won't it?
Currently most of the people subscribed to the service are somehow verified on the coverage before subscribing to it.
Not having the coverage at the moment won't mean it won't have the coverage in the future, that's why everyone is applying to it to hope one day when coverage is available, they will be contacted. Whether to subscribe or not, it's up to the consumers' choice.
Honestly, my area too doesn't have coverage at the moment, a little dissapointment but anticipation is still there.
As compared to Maxis 3G, Celcom 3G, UMobile 3G, WiMAX roll out is way faster as Maxis, Celcom and MiTV have been holding the license for more than 3+ years before starting their service roll out (which is not even fully covered the entire Malaysia at the moment).

i wanted to sign up for the service wan so i regsitered at the website but..funny no news wan
Maybe you should follow the footstep of one of our forumer here and call their careline and spam their emails on why there are no clear notification whether your area has coverage or not. As claimed by alot of people here that their careline is very helpful, you should try it out if it's true and let us know.

yeah..built in wimax adapter like the built wi-fi in all laptop nowadays..
i heard intel also in the process of making the chipset..correct me if i m wrong..
forgot where i heard that
i also think in the future when the chipset is available the price should be so xpensive..
the new thing should be expensive like the P1 Wimax modem that cost about 1K...

Sprint-Clearwire Xohm is currently using WiMAX laptop with Intel Centrino 2 chipset however, the chipset only has WiMAX on 2.5Ghz. Malaysia WiMAX is on 2.3 Ghz but according to Intel, they will be releasing it soon with dual band WiMAX 2.5+2.3Ghz with Wifi. Soon (next year), we will be having laptop with WiMAX+Wifi in which we can bring it to all around the world to use WiMAX as what we are doing now with our wifi and mobile phone. But do expect the price to be costly in the beginning.
