What is the Current Status of WiMAX? 239
PalletBoy asks: "I live in BFE (read 'remote') Pennsylvania where BroadBand is not available in any form save satellite, which is no good for price and latency reasons (curse my MMO addiction!). My big question is: what is the -actual- current status of WiMAX technology? Different sites have me believing different things and I can't find an exact answer to the question 'When will I be able to buy a WiMAX router and cards so I can remotely receive broadband?' When will WiMAX (802.16) be solidly standardized, out, and affordable? Or is it already there?"
I know there's nothing for me to see here. (Score:3, Funny)

Hopefully that helps save Slashdot's bandwidth for more news of the same importance.

But of course, since we all know that the only reason for getting BB is for playing WoW, right?
Grow up, get a real job, move out of your parents' basement.
