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.

and thats were the selling off of the analoge tv and the new land grab for the regulated private wireless bands will come in.
perhaps now that Virgin Media seems to given up on ITV (for the moment) they might instead try and go for some private WiMax spectrum outright rather than rent space from whoever gets the new space (some players in the EU pehaps ?).
or they might try and go the cheap and cheerful route, for the usable public space and as you say, get wiped out, complain to OFT or whoever and get BT/Sky or whoever told off and dont do it again, LOL.
with NTL its not hard to guess which, unless richard is keeping a good eye on the boardroom and plays a card or two....
would anyone know the max
commercial power rating for line of sight WiMax if there is even such a limit like the consumer power rate limits for wifi ?.
