In fact, on the biz side it's promoted as 'WiMax in Home', for example.
So, how is it NOT WiMax?

It is based on pre-wimax standards but it is in fact a proprietary wireless protocol. |

Actually it is kinda. We are talking about the Inukshuk network jointly owned by Bell/Rogers. It is pre-WiMAX but really it is more or less exactly the same as the ratified fixed WiMAX standard. |
