Andy Backs Me Up

"I wouldn't bet on it.", said Andrew Viterbi, referring to the coming WiMAX explosion.
The Qualcomm founder and wireless visionary commented to an audience at the IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium that it would take government backing for WiMAX to gather wide acceptance. He cited economics, not technology, as the fly in the ointment.

Mr. Viterbi had previously made similar comments last October, when he suggested that the total market size was at least an order of magnitude smaller than what the current pundits were predicting.
In the past, I've made similar observations, though I don't get the press that Andy can ;-)

At least I'm in good company.
