...good points, but define mulitple?

I don't think wimax will do what its meant to do on the packet, i.e. up to 50KM. But, in regards to BT using wimax, it could manage the last "mile". Mile meaning the similar kind of area that a BT exchange now covers. For ntl and their offnet strategy. Rather than ntl using BT's ancient wires, they could install Wimax dishes in their cabled-up areas and connect them to their fibre network. But the wimax services wouldn't be for the cabled areas, but to beam services to the neighbouring smaller towns or villages.

I take your points onboard, though. My home router can't even manage a few metres....And if wimax really did work well, there's nothing stopping mobile phone companies or anyone else installing wimax and destroying ntl/bt in a single swipe.
