WiMAX: A Market Driven Technology

Analysis of: WiMAX Suffers a Setback | www.businessweek.com

Implications: Technology markets are driven by demand--innovation brings it to fruition.  If not Sprint Nextel--this innovative step will be introduced to the market with a competitor.

Analysis: Indeed it appears Sprint has lost its focus in allowing a breakdown in negotiations to halt an innovative step towards delivering WiMAX standards; and henceforth a newer, robust service to a consumer driven market.
No one company owns open source standards on which technology is developed and evolves.  (One would be hard pressed to think of any company that tried to dominate a market based on proprietary technology--long term success is restrictive in this siloed vision).
Rest assured standards will be developed and delivered to the market in spite of Sprint Nextel's current inability to move forward.
