I have seen claims at various places about the technology upgrade path—including Intel, which put the research and development into WiMAX technology—that this technology will be capable of scaling to 70 megabits per second. In fact, whether it goes 20 kilometres, 40 kilometres or 50 kilometres, when we start rolling it out, it will be far better than anything else that consumers have had to date.
