PCWorld.com - Motorola, Intel Team on Mobile WiMax

Still a way to go for wireless and mobile broadband via WiMax, but two biggies are working to develop standards.

"The WiMax Forum, a consortium that includes vendors and service providers, currently is working on certifying fixed WiMax products based on the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard. Those products won't allow subscribers to use WiMax while in motion.

The IEEE 802.16e standard, still being developed in draft form by a working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, won't define mobile WiMax closely enough to immediately create a high-volume set of products, he said."
