Broadband : Wireless Broadband Is Here To Stay
Wireless broadband works by using short-range radio waves to create a small area where your computers can be networked without wires - most wireless networks are no bigger than a house, although larger ones are possible.
WiMAX is a protocol by which signals are sent to wireless broadband users. A WiMAX base station can theoretically beam a signal as far as 50km (31 miles), meaning that a single station could potentially cover an entire city (unlike Wi-Fi, which is only available in "hotspots").
Although WiMAX are networks are available in several major metropolitan areas in the US, base stations are very expensive to build, and aren't cost effective in less densely populated areas. Because of this limitation, WiMAX technology is not yet available in most non-urban regions.
Wireless broadband can be either paid for monthly along with your standard tariff, or used on a pay-as-you-go basis for periods of up to an hour. It all depends on how much you travel, and how often you would use the service. Wireless broadband and wireless networking are slowly becoming more widely available as more providers catch onto the idea.
