A new report from In-Stat indicates the global pre-WiMAX-Certified 802.16-2004 equipment market, which includes subscriber units and base stations, will grow to over $3 billion by 2010. According to In-Stat analysts, it's a rather aggressive outlook on the future of WiMax, given that the upcoming field trials have not taken place yet nor has there been any indication of which type of WiMax (fixed or mobile) will find more acceptance by providers. However, with subscriber units expected to decrease in price from $500 currently to $100 by 2010, it looks like either platform should be fairly affordable.
