O WiMax e a rádio

«(...) WiMax is even better than WiFi -- that very local wireless way computers and phones can connect to the Internet.
WiMax would give consumers high-speed access to the Internet using phones, mobile devices and laptops. Mobile video might benefit the most because WiMax would allow high quality pictures to be transmitted over the air.
(...) The eventual construction of a high-speed, wide-area quality wireless link to the Internet has tremendous repercussions for the traditional radio industry that would just like all technology to go away and let it return to transistor radios.
Universal WiMax would make it seamless for consumers to have Internet-based music, information, communication with them everywhere. The advantage that radio transmission now has -- it's everywhere and it's free -- would be reduced to one thing.
It's still free. (...) If automakers are including WiFi capability in some new cars, can you imagine what WiMax -- a much wider range signal from transmitter to transmitter -- would mean to terrestrial radio operators?»
