Thanks. I didn't know that. Does this mean anyone, including individual home owners will be able to use Wimax in an unlicensed band, If someone sells Wimax access points? That seems like it would be problematic because Wimax uses more transmit power. The range is two miles? It seems like people would clobber each other.

The trick would be to find vendors to sell equipment that works in the desired frequency bands. They won't make hardware that will work on just any frequency. That is why the licensed bands will be the main sales for Wimax hardware vendors. Though for a contract, they may make the hardware work for other frequencies than the licensed ones. And that is where cities could cut special deals.
